Ok, my code follows. Basically I'm printing ...
my Owner/Group, the existing Owner/Group of the file, the Owner/Group of the
file After trying to change it.
The most interesting thing is... I get absolutely no errors, no warnings,
and everything prints out as if everything worked... Except that its' not
actually changing anything at all!!
The fact that it's not changing anything is a secondary issue... What
surprises me is that chown,chgrp or chmod doesn't give any error or warning
for the fact that it's not doing anything. Except the is_writeable() which
actually prints "Is not writeable".... The if(chown) etcetera continue
printing as if they changed the Owner/Group/Perms.... Even though they
didn't.
code:
if (!is_writable("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf")) {
echo "Is not writeable<BR><BR>";
}
$fileowneruidb=fileowner("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $fileowneruidb;
$fileownerarrayb=posix_getpwuid($fileowneruidb);
$fileownerb=$fileownerarrayb['name'];
echo "<BR>Owner is $fileownerb<BR><BR>";
echo "My owner :".getmyuid()."<BR>";
if(chown("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf", getmyuid())) {
$fileowneruida=fileowner("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $fileowneruida;
$fileownerarraya=posix_getpwuid($fileowneruida);
$fileownera=$fileownerarraya['name'];
echo "<BR>Owner changed to $fileownera<BR><BR>";
}
$filegrpb=filegroup("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $filegrpb;
$filegrparrayb=posix_getgrgid($filegrpb);
$filegrpb=$filegrparrayb['name'];
echo "<BR>Group is $filegrpb<BR><BR>";
echo "My owner :".getmygid()."<BR>";
if(chgrp("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf", getmygid())) {
$filegrpa=filegroup("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf");
echo $filegrpa;
$filegrparraya=posix_getgrgid($filegrpa);
$filegrpa=$filegrparraya['name'];
echo "<BR>Group changed to $filegrpa<BR><BR>";
}
if (chmod("/home/folder/documents/path/osmd.dbf", 0755)) {
echo "Mode changed to 0755<BR><BR>";
}
