file and directory create and ownership

[lajkonik86]

when i let my script copy or create directories i cannot access them anymore in an ftp program because the owner is different.
im on a shared host.
What is the best way to circumvent this problem?

Many thanks,
Thierry

You could have your script [man]chmod/man the directory after it creates it.

mkdir(COMPANY_FILES . $thecompid, 0777);

doesn't seem 2 work. still cant acess

hah🙂
it is working with chmod. What the heck?!
Is it safe to give them 777 though?

if someone else in trouble had trouble with this use this little bit of code to clean the mess you created while testing:

$dirs = array_slice(scandir(THE DIRECTORY TO SCAN),2);
foreach($dirs as $key => $value) {
chmod(SCANNED DIRECTORY . $value, 0777);
}
