permission question

I have the following code....

if(isset($_POST['addnew']))
{
$id='entry_'.$_POST['rid'];
$path= '/var/www/vhosts/domainname.com/httpdocs/files/'.$id;
$fullpath= $path;
if(!is_dir($fullpath))
{
mkdir($fullpath, 0777);
}

if(is_dir($fullpath))
{
if ($_FILES['file_upld']['tmp_name'])
{
$temp_name = $_FILES['file_upld']['tmp_name'];
$filename = $_FILES['file_upld']['name'];
$dir = $fullpath.'/';
move_uploaded_file($temp_name,$dir.$filename);
chmod($dir.$filename, 0777);
}

}
}
It all works fine problem is it asigns the ownership to apache and i can't delete or download the files once they are in there, i can read, edit , etc.. but not download or delete... also it appears that the permissions are really 755 not 777..but i think that's common?

If you're on a shared *nix server, a directory created through mkdir() will not be assigned to you, but to the user that your host's server or php process is running under, usually 'nobody', 'apache' or 'httpd'.

In practice, this means that you can create directories, even add files to them, but you can't delete the directory or its contents nor change permissions.

It is therefore advised to create directories through PHP's FTP API. Here's a function I wrote:

<?php
// create directory through FTP connection
function FtpMkdir($path, $newDir) {
 
      $server='ftp.yourserver.com'; // ftp server
      $connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection
 

      // login to ftp server
      $user = "me";
      $pass = "password";
      $result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass);

  // check if connection was made
    if ((!$connection) || (!$result)) {
      return false;
      exit();
      } else {
        ftp_chdir($connection, $path); // go to destination dir
      if(ftp_mkdir($connection,$newDir)) { // create directory
          return $newDir;
      } else {
          return false;     
      }
  ftp_close($conn_id); // close connection
  }

}
?>

Hope this comes in handy for someone.

so using that i have...
function FtpMkdir($FTPpath, $id)
{
$server='www.myserver.com'; // ftp server
      $connection = ftp_connect($server); // connection
// login to ftp server
      $user = "user";
      $pass = "pass";
      $result = ftp_login($connection, $user, $pass);
// check if connection was made
    if ((!$connection) || (!$result))
    {
      return false;
      exit();
      }
      else
      {
      ftp_chdir($connection, $FTPpath); // go to destination dir
      if(ftp_mkdir($connection,$id))
      { // create directory
      return $id;
      }
      else
      {
        return false;     
        }
  ftp_close($conn_id); // close connection
  }
    }
############################################
if(isset($_POST['addnew']))
{
$FTPpath= '/httpdocs/compFiles/';
$id='entry_'.$_POST['rid']; //new dir name
$path= '/var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/compFiles/'.$id;

if(!is_dir($path)) 
{
FtpMkdir($FTPpath, $id); // make dir 
}
if(is_dir($path))  // directory already  exists
{
chmod($path, 0707);
if ($_FILES['file_upld']['tmp_name']) //upload file
{
$temp_name = $_FILES['file_upld']['tmp_name'];
$filename = $_FILES['file_upld']['name'];
$dir = $path.'/';
move_uploaded_file($temp_name,$dir.$filename);
chmod($dir.$filename, 0707);
$success = "<font color=\"green\">Your file was uploaded successfully</font>";
}
}
}

Which now creates a directory that at least doesn't belong to apache, has permissions  755
but doesn't upload the file ,unless i change the permissions to 707 , and chmod($path, 0707);
nor chmod($dir.$filename, 0707); seem to be working...
