Hi NG. I'm experiencing some problems when trying to copy a file from one location to another on the web server. example: dir1/subdir1/some_image_name.jpg --> dir2/subdir2/some_new_image_name.jpg When I do this the file permissions changes and I'm no longer the owner of the file. I tried to use chmod('the_new_file', 0777); but it doesn't work, because chmod() wont let me change the permissions since I'm not the owner of this new file. The server runs on some kind of UNIX based system... Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks. /Aidal -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
