fopen permissions

[jorgenfi]

Hi!

I have a problem. When fopen() makes a new file, i don't have permissions to change filename and delete the file through my ftp-client. I have tried with different permission settings in the function, like a, w+ and x+, but the permissions are always the same : -rw-r--r--

This is the same permissions as other files at the server which I actually can rename and delete. So, how do I make files with php-scripting that I can rename and delete?

Thanks a lot!

script:
//create files within folder
mkdir($foldername, 0777);

$new = fopen($foldername . '/database.php', 'a');

fwrite($new, $string);

fclose($new);

[man]chmod[/man]

chmod($new,777); //for example

Thanks, that helped me to change the permission to rwxrwxrwx, but still it is not possible for me to change the name on the file or delete it in the ftp-client.
This is what is showing in the status window:

550 Rename /path/file.php: Permission denided

There is different user and group id on the files that are uploaded via ftp and those made by the script. But safe_mode is off, so why is it then a problem for me to edit these files?

Can anybody help?

You should be able to change a 777 file. However, php typically runs under a different user. So you may want to change the owner of the file to the user of your ftp client:

[man]chown[/man]

Also in php you can [man]rename[/man]

or use *nix commands like

mv $newfile myNewFileName; << notice backticks pass through commands
