What's wrong with my chmod/copy() code???

[jeff_borden]

I'm trying to copy a file to a directory:

$file = "./users/common/male_photo_na.gif";
$to = "./users/dir/";

chmod( $file, 0755);
chmod( $to, 0755);

copy($file, $to);

And I keep getting:

Warning: Unable to create './users/dir/': Permission denied in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dining\test.php on line 12

what can i do to fix this??? thx...

Which line is line 12?

also, does the directory ./users/dir/ exist before you call chmod. If not, then that could be the problem. I don't think you can chmod something that doesn't exist yet.

Then there is a permission issue. 755 is rwx for owner, r-x for group and r-x for world. Without write permissions, your script can't write to the directory.

it turns out iis doesn't support chmod.... do you know how to utilize the above code in IIS?

[keith73]

chmod is an OS command in Unix/Linux machines. I believe that it wouldn't matter if you use it under IIS OR Apache if it's on a Windows Server. It probably won't work at all.
