[snip] I have a need for a PHP application to read/write Linux system files that have root.root ownership. At present reading not a problem but writing obviously is denied. I know there are probably some serious security issues here, but what should I be doing to allow this behaviour. I am running PHP 4.3.8 on Linux Redhat Fedora 1 installed as an Apache module. [/snip] either change the file permissions, making it something other than root or chmod the file 766 so that all have read and write access to it. PHP is running under whatever persmissions Apache is running (if that is how you have it installed). -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
