permissions issue when running from CLI

[msimonds]

I am a having a small issue

When I run a script from the Command line, I am getting a permissions issue:

Warning: fopen(/users/msimonds/public_html/dr/error_reports/dr-errors-usa_Avnet_NA_RegFile_20090318.csv): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /users/msimonds/public_html/dr/dr_process_ftp.php on line 102

but when I run it from the browser, it works fine

This script will run on cron and needs to work from the CLI

I know that it is a permissions issue, but the folder has a permissions of 777 on it.

Is it because the actual file does not have the right permissions on it?

any help would be appreciated

TIA

I guess the related question is who owns the file? If it's not the same user as that under which your CLI script is executed, then you'll probably need 0666 (or possibly 0664) if you need to write to the file.

It is a different user, the PHP is running as "nobody" user.

I will need to figure out how to get this working, there has to be a way to set up permissions for users in linux to be able to touch other peoples scripts and stuff like that

Not knowing the specifics of your situation/configuration and what you are trying to do: if you can't change the permissions for some reason, then since you have read permission you could at the very least have the script read it, then write it to a different location and/or filename.
