file creating and uploading trouble

[daverico]

I am having trouble with creating directories to upload a picture to. It will create the directory and the picture can be viewed. But they cannot be updated or deleted.
FTP Permission Denied.
Am I using mkdir correctly here? or what?

thanks for your help... here is a bit of the code i am using.

if ($numberofpics != ""){
if ($pic1_name != ""){

							if ((mkdir("../../bands/bandpics/$bandname", 0555))){
								copy("$pic1", "../../bands/bandpics/$bandname/$pic1_name")
								or die("Couldn't copy the file!");  

							} else {

								die("No input file specified");
							}
						}
					}

hi Dave,

The reason you are not able to update or delete the particular images in the directory you have created is that you are creating the directory in 0555 mode, try creating in the 0755 mode give all read write permissions to the world. This will definitely solve your problem and dont forget to close the directory after you have opened.

Good Luck

I think the problem lies in the permissions set for the dir. At the moment you have it set to 0555 (read and executive for all)I think it would need to be 0755 (read, write execute for owner, read & execute for others)(try 0775 & 0777 if 0755 doesn't work).
