Fileowner problems with photo upload script

[Donald]

Hi,

I wrote this script that site visitors can use to upload their pics. Pics are put in separate dirs in function of year and week. So now we are in mysite/2006/13/ for example. The script checks whether dir 13 already exists and if not it creates it. Works fine.
But when someone of the webteam creates this dir manually then my script can't access this dir to put pics in it.

chmod($dir, 0777)

doesn't help. On checking with

posix_getpwuid(fileowner($string))

I see that one time it is 585 and another time 99.

Question:
Does anybody has the list of these ID's (so I can figure them out)?

Most important: how can I change my script so that dir perms can be set right? I want to be able to manually AND via script upload pics.

Thanx!

Anyone, please?

http://uk.php.net/posix_getpwuid will tell you how to read the results of the posix_getpwuid() function

when you write an upload script, the script will run as the user of the webserver that you are using. so if you create a new folder the user and group permissions will be set to that users user and group.

When you manually create a folder it will create them with the user and group of that user

If you want both the webserver and the user to have access, then you should create a group that contains both the manual user(s) and the webserver user in it, then grant permission so that the group on the file is the group you create, then grant 77* permissions to give ther user and the group read, write, execute with world permissions set to what ever you need it to be.

Which means I should have full access to the server? I don't have this kind of access though... Is there another way to do it then?
