php code can not read file from /var/tmp folder which is not created by apache

[snehu]

I am using apache web server on linux. I am using php for coding. My php code is not able to read the files from /var/tmp folder. If apache itself creates some files in /var/tmp folder then php code is able to read it. Why this permission denied issues are there though full access permissions are given to each file?

What are the permissions on the files in question?

I have given 777 permissions and also tried by changing the owner to apache by chown apache filename. In error logs it shows: failed to open stream. Permission Denied.

it could be possible if the directory or the previous directory when the file is deployed has a 0 permissions to others. So, we need to see the output of:

 

ls -la /var/tmp/the_name_of_the_file
