chmod problem = \

[Anon]

I have successfully created dynamically generated directories using PHP's mkdir() function. Now when i ftp to the server to upload into the directory dynamically made permission is denied for me to upload into it. I have even chmod it 0777, and it still wont let me upload. I have tried to chmod it in numerous ways and nothing works. Any Suggestions?!?! Someone help me!!!

Its got to do with the way PHP handles folder / file permissions. It doesn't like to make a directory 777 as it would be too insecure, but for uploading images, files etc its perfect.

You will need to trick it and create the directory, then change the CHMOD to 777. Heres how:

---

<form method="post" action="directory_make_upate.php">
Create Directory:<br>

<input type="text" name="file" size=15>
<input type="submit" value="Create">
</form>

<?
mkdir($file,0777);
chmod ($file,0777);
?>

---

ok?
