exec()

Hello, I was just seeing if someone could push me in the right direction. I have a form that uploads items to a database and it also includes uploading images to a directory as a part of that. That all works, but I was thinking for security it'd be best not to leave that directory as 0777 for permissions. In researching this I found the exec() function. I'm still figuring out the relation of who the permissions are associated with and why. All I know is if the directory has 0777 for permissions my script works just fine. I was just seeing if using exec to change the permissions during the process of uploading the images and then change back would be cumbersome and leave open other problems (there won't be any user-based input being passed to that) or if that actually would be the way to go for this.

 

Thanks!
