It just seems not making sence. I have read the manual and it does not explain this specially. If the user owns this folder: "www\myfolders" And runs a PHP-script in safe mode that creates the folder "www\myfolders\who". Who owns the "who" folder? I assume the owner. If so, why can't the PHP-script create another folder inside like "www\myfolders\who\this" like before? If "the user of the php process" (UID) is the owner of the new folder, why can't it create a folder inside its own folder? Is it because it's triggered by a user different from the user of the PHP process?

The limitation is not at operating system level, but php willingly chooses not to let you create the subdirectory (because safe mode is on) > > Regards, > Summi > > > -----Original Message----- > From: Marek Kilimajer [mailto:lists@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] > Sent: 25. nóvember 2004 00:05 > To: SED > Cc: php-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > Subject: Re: SAFE MODE Restriction - mkdir() > > SED wrote: > >>Hi, >> >>I have very wierd situation.
