Problems with updating/deleting files with PHP

[veloypete]

I have been having problems with files that have been either writen or uploaded through PHP.

The first instance is when I upload a file using a form and then using "move_uploaded_file" to move the file to the correct folder. I can upload the file just fine but once I want to delete it or update the file it gives me an error like the following: "Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10040 is not allowed to access forms/output.txt owned by uid 0."

Also I get a similar error when I create a file and write to it using PHP. I am able to create the file and write to it, but once I want to update it or delete it I get the same error. I have chmod'd the directory '777' If anyone can help me out I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

you have to change in ur php.ini setting to turn safe mode to off

but becareful this can lead to security hole if you haven't configured php correctly
[man]ini_set[/man]

I don't know how to do that, also I tried using the FTP function but that isn't installed apparently. Any other ideas? Thanks
