Hi, Sometimes when I write a PHP-script and upload it to a ISP through password protected FTP, the only way to write data to a folder is to run chmod 777 for that folder, I want to write (or save) a data to (e.g. file-upload, flat-file-database). However, if I do so, I have been told, everyone can write data to that file, which is a security risk. Is that true? If I do so, is it right that anyone can write a data to that folder? E.g. PHP-script that can reveal everything? Regards, SED -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
