Good Morning:
I am looking to create a thumbnail from an uploaded image, and then save
it to a directory.
I don't have any problem with the image functions, and can successfully
create the thumbnail and push it to the browser or, as is currently set
up, store the data in a database.
What I want to do instead, however, is take that dynamically created
thumbnail and write it to a folder on the server.
If I simply write the file, however, it appears I need to have a folder
chmod'd world read/writable for the process to work. My network guys do
not want this.
I tried the FTP functions, which work great for copying a file that
already exists somewhere into another folder, but I can't seem to get it
to recognize the buffer as a valid source file location...
Is there a way to use a php FTP function to FTP the file out of the
buffer to a directory on the server, or some other way to write a file to
a folder without making that folder 0777?

Have your program create the folder and assign it 754 or 755, don't create
it via Apache. Thus, the owner will be the famous "nobody". The 754 means
nobody [your program] has full rights; but the world only has reading
rights. You'll see all your standard folders created by the system are
755, which is safe also.
and how do apache create directories again?
With tomahawks and bows and arrows.
Some folks make dumb mistakes occasionally especially when in a hurry.
However, the approach of having the script create the folders with 755 or 754 is correct. Is it not?
