In many cases, the webserver runs as nobody. Thus, if you want to upload a file, nobody needs write-access to the directory into which the file should be uploaded. -- Kilian You sure your name's not Odysseus? :-) "...nobody blinded me..." - Carsten -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: [PHP] Problems uploading Files
Hello Sebastian, What a timely posting! I am trying to figure out how to allow a user (using any internet-connected pc) to upload a file to my PHP-enabled server. I am trying to use PHP and the FTP functions, but can't figure out how to address the file on the user's machine. Any hints from anyone as to how to do this? Or am I on the wrong track, altogether? Someone else suggested that I use an HTML 'upload', but I can't find anything about this in my HTML documentation. Any help much appreciated!!!

Re: [PHP] Problems uploading Files
Sebastian, Apache is running as a user, usually nobody:nobody, or sometimes www:www. That user is trying to move the file when you do the move in php. When you login through an ftp client, a different user is doing the move (you). You need to make sure that the user nobody has enough permissions on your target directory to do the move. Depending on how locked down you want it, there are several options: rwx for owner only, make the owner/group of the directory nobody. rwx for group - change the directory's group to nobody, or add nobody into another group (along with, for instance, yourself) and make that directory belong to this new group. There are several more ways, but you probably want to keep away from 777 permissions on the directory if possible. John - you want to do what Sebastian is doing. Check out Chapter 19. Handling file uploads in the php manual. It has everything you need to get going.
