file manipulation in PHP?

[bad_brain]

hey folks...
are there methods to CHMOD/CHGRP/CHOWN files in PHP?
I´m establishing the upload script for users at the moment, the files are stored in a .tmp-file while uploading and then are moved to the target folder, and to be on the safe side I want to change the permissions of these files to an absolute minimum until they are checked....could be done by hand of course, but would be much more comfy if it´s done automaticly when moving the file.

Try This

an example

Code: Select all

chmod("/somedir/somefile", 644);

For CHMOD

http://ca.php.net/chmod

For CHGRP

for CHOWN

http://ca.php.net/chown

Cheers

Hey Bad Brain one thing to note uploading via http in PHP as far as I can tell from my research is there is a limit to the file size that the server sets by default (anyone correct me if I am wrong) the default size is usually around 7 mb

Just thought I would mention that

thanks buddy...

I´ll have to check if there´s a max. upload size by the server settings, but I´ll limit the size by the upload script anyway (I´m also planning to allow specific file extensions only).

Yes, there's a max, however, it's usually defined by the person writing the php script.

[maboroshi]

Yes but that max_file_size has to be less then the value in these server variables

# ile_uploads
# upload_max_filesize
# max_input_time
# memory_limit
# max_execution_time
# post_max_size

So You will have to check Your PHP Configuration file B_B
