Re: Permissions for mkdirs

Unfortunately, I can't get in to the conents of the folder to change
the permissions!

More generally, I'm wondering if there's a better/best practice way of
doing this.  Or changing the ownership of the file to me--but I'm not
sure who is me, and who this file is being created as when I run a
script.  Again, this is being run on a shared server.

Any further ideas?

Thanks,

Andrew

if you are looking to delete the folder when the user leaves or for some
other reason, then you need to ensure that the images themselves also have
the permissions (0777) to allow you to delete them before you can delete the
folder...
