Re: [PHP] copy + chmod problems ...
i just tried a test and it works on MacOS X. even with the space between
'chmod' and '('.
what platform are you on? is this a standalone script/app or from a web
page? can you perform the chmod from the command-line? what is the entire
error message?
also, the error doesn't really suggest this, but have you tried using the
full path?

Re: [PHP] copy + chmod problems ...
hi mike ...
actually, this was my first mistake ... i received this chmod error because
i entered the command into the unix terminal window using osx.
i tried later to change the permissions using php (a script), but was unable
to do so:
$chg = chmod (photos, 0777);
error message == chmod failed: Operation not permitted in
/Library/WebServer/Documents/browsin/copy.ph
i'll try using the full path ... thx jeremy
