I assume that you are using your server to copy the file, and since the copy apparently suceeds, your server must have read access to the source file. Check out
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.umask.php>. If you set the correct umask prior to your copy, your copied file should end up with the correct permissions. Even if it doesn't, you should be able to chmod correctly. Be careful with the mask, it is set up with negative logic. If you have access to an *nix system, try a "man umask" for more information.
Hope this helps. . . Dusty Aidal wrote:
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.
