There is a peculiarity I have found coming to unix (well Mac, but CentOS also). If you want to use a directory like you would expect to use one, then it needs the execute property. To that end, I use mkdir($s_Directory, 0755, True); This creates the complete directory path, along with the ability to write files into it. It also automatically limits write capabilities to non-owner, making it read-only. I hope that helps. -- Richard Quadling Twitter : @RQuadling
