Copying files

crawfd

I'm attempting to copy one file from one folder to another in a while statement, but I seem to be getting a permissions error. The seperate folders are being created based upon the number of entries from the db, but what I'm trying to do is then afterwards copy the $rowp[zipfile] into the $rowp[path] folder name per each result entry of the while statement. :bemused:

 

while ($rowp=mysql_fetch_array($res)){

$productfolder = "zips/$rowp[path]";
mkdir($productfolder, 0700);

copy("zips/vault/$rowp[zipfile]/", "zips/$rowp[path]/");

echo "$rowp[name] - <a href=zips/$rowp[path]/$rowp[zipfile]>Download Now!</a><br>";

}

if its a permissions error your getting then you must not have somthing chmoded correctly... try making the folders chmod 777 instead of 700?

Well I'm running this whole application locally on my computer. I have every permission imaginable allowed on this computer. I don't think that's it, but if it is, how would I change permissions to the folder locally?

The mode is 0777 by default, which means the widest possible access. For more information on modes, read the details on the chmod() page

this may not be the case since your running it on your own machine however, you are setting the folder's permissions to 0700 when you create it.

although it does say 0700 set's read/write/excute permissions for the owner but im not sure that includes scripts that are being excuted?

its worth a try.😃

Yeah, but my question is .....how do I change my local folder on my machine to reflect the new permission?? When I right click on my folder all I see is an option to discontinue read only.
