Hi NG.
I'm experiencing some problems when trying to copy a file from one location
to another on the web server.
example:
dir1/subdir1/some_image_name.jpg -- dir2/subdir2/some_new_image_name.jpg
When I do this the file permissions changes and I'm no longer the owner of
the file. I tried to use chmod('the_new_file', 0777); but it doesn't work,
because chmod() wont let me change the permissions since I'm not the owner
of this new file.
The owner should now be the user the Web server is running as.
To change file ownerships you need to use the PHP FTP functions.

ftp_chmod() is part of PHP 5 and I'm working with PHP 4.3.1.
I tried the ftp_raw('CHMOD 777 filename.jpg'); doesn't work either though :(

Re: [PHP] File Copy

Re: [PHP] File Copy
ERR, I meant I tried ftp_exec(), ftp_raw() is a PHP 5 function too...

Re: [PHP] File Copy
Aidal
Could you post the relevant parts of your code so we have a little
context to work in?
You say you're copying a file from one location to another on the same
server. If this is the case you are very unlikely to be in need of the
ftp family of functions, which are only valid for use over an
established ftp connection.
I suspect that the file is indeed now owned by the webserver
has it changed from aidal:somegroup to nobody:nogroup or something like
that?
Post us some code and the answers you get will probably be more useful
Cheers

Re: [PHP] File Copy
Aidal, presumably, your server had the write to copy the file, otherwise the copy would have failed. Is the only problem that you don't have the correct permissions on the copied file?? if so check out http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.umask.php. If you set the umask before you copy, you should have the correct permissions. Best regards. . .

Re: [PHP] file copy
You must change the headers for the file so it is being downloaded.
Something like this:
header('Content-Type: GIF'); // not sure of this one
header('Content-Length: ' . filesize('file.gif'));
header(Content-Disposition: attachment;
filename=\file.gif\);
