ohdang888 Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 so do i need to put that code on the top of each and every page. also, i have a comment system, so people have to be able to write on that. so would it be this?>? <?php // Everything for owner, read and execute for others chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0755); ?> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DyslexicDog Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 There are file privileges that you need to change. What OS is your server running? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drummer101 Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 windows vista home premeium What OS is your webserver on (unless you're running it off your home comp) you don't have to worry about chmod on windows anyways Can you give us a hint as to what permission problems you've been having? (error messages and the likes?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted December 27, 2007 Share Posted December 27, 2007 Use a database to store your content, creating folders and index.php pages for each page of your website is rediculous, you may as well go back to using html. PHP and MySql can help you create dynamic websites without the need to make new files. Your really missing the entire point here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
