0777 is what you told us for the DIRECTORY containing the file, not the file itself. You did not tell use which user/group owned the file, nor directory, nor which user PHP is running as. We CANNOT answer your question directly, because you've asked your question rather badly. Posting abusive/argumentative replies to those at least trying to help you is not likely to make things better, is it? You're on the horse, and can't get the gate open. We're leading the horse to water, and can't make him drink. Maybe you can't get the gate open because you SHOULDN'T ride the horse down that dangerous path. -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
