php & file permission error

[aboschan]

Hello,Im trying to use php in my new ISP server, and find some differences with the old one.
For example I need to Chmod 666 a txt file in order to have a php script write in it, while in the old one was 644.
And the most problematic, the script that I use for uploading files through a multipart form(I think I took it from phpbuilder) doesn't work even if I chmod 777 everything(dir and files)).This script uses "copy"

Anyone can help and explain it?, thank you VERY much.

Could you please trace to where the php script fails? What exactly do you mean when you say "doesn't work"?

The script has a part which reads:

function upload($the_file) {

global $the_path,$the_file_name;

$error = validate_upload($the_file);
if ($error) {
    form($error);
} else { # cool, we can continue
    if (!@copy($the_file, $the_path . "/" . $the_file_name)) {
        form("\n<b>Chequear path y ".
        "los eprmisos del directorio</b>");
    } else {
        list_files();
        form();
    }
}

}

This

Chequear path y ".
"los permisos del directorio</b>");
is the error I'm getting (check path and permissions)
I checked permissions, think this is not the problem
Thanks
