Having some Issues Renaming Some Images

[cooldude832]

I have a submitter program that puts ads into a database, I temporarily put the images in a location so that if they are changed the temp names stay the same.  Any ways after the users is done editing the ad I have a page that pushes the data to a mysql table and then attempts to rename the images to a permeate location. However I get:

Warning: rename(files/61893_1.jpg,horse_41_1.jpg): Permission denied in /hsphere/local/home/pira00/upperstraitscleanlake.org/horse/horse_sql.php on line 85

 

The file that has the code is in the subfolder horses the images are in horses/files/ and i want to rename them to /horses/files/horse_num_num.jpg

 

This is my code:

$i=1;

//Lets move those images into a folder so they don't get lost in temps
while ($i <=4)
	{
	$newimgpath .= "horse_";
	$newimgpath .= $idnum;
	$newimgpath .= "_";
	$newimgpath .= $i;
	$newimgpath .= ".jpg";
	$set = "-rw-rw-rw-";
	chmod("/".$path[$i], 0777);
	rename("/".$path[$i],$newimgpath);
	$i++;
	}

 

the array $path is valid

check the permissions of the folder you are moving the files to...if you are using *nix do "chmod 0755 foldername".  If windows, turn on "modify" permissions for the web username.

is there a way to set chmod for the folder with php?

[MadTechie]

try chmod 

[cooldude832]

would it be:

$dir = "/files/";
chmod($dir], 0777);

??

as a note try using the absolute path, relative has cause me problems on sime servers

[cooldude832]

absolute all the way back like http://www.domain.com/subfolder

or

absolute as in

/hpshere/etcetc/etc/

I got it working now, but my whole directory "root" in this case is 0,777 and everything below it is there a way to set the dir to 0777 pre image adjustments and then back to lockdown after?
