File permissions is beyond the scope of this mailing list. You need to buy a book, research on the web, etc., on *nix system administration, and concentrate on the filesystem/security/permissions sections, and the section on how apps/daemons operate.

John:

My question basically was "why isn't chmod() working for me?" So, I thought it might be a question to pose to a php mailing list -- my mistake, sorry.

chmod() is working the way it's supposed to. You're not getting the results you desire, and to understand why, you need to understand how file ownership and permissions work on a *nix system.

PS: 0777 -- so you never go to extremes, or press limits, to try to solve a problem?


Not when it will compromise the security of my system. There is always another way to solve the problem.
