Permissions / Retrieving Uploaded Files
I have set up a website where visitors can upload files. We then ftp into the server to retrieve those files, however we cannot access them as they are chmod'ed to 600 by default. How do we gain access to these files, or chmod them when they are first uploaded by the user so we can download them with ftp? Added note - the server is telling me that the owner of the uploaded files are 'apache', which I guess is the default set up. Also tried the chmod command, but had no luck 'permission denied'..

Change Permissions On Files
I understand that chmod(); is to change the permission on folder, but is it also used for changing file permissions? I need to take the images my users upload and change their permissions so they can delete them.

Change File Permissions
i'm trying to create a file management tool online using php. Everytime i copy or create files or folders though it assigns ownership of the new files or folders to the apache id. i tried using backticks, exec, shell_exec and the php shell commands. php safe mode is off. i can create the files and folders using shell commands and have tried to change ownership using chown but that doesn't seem to do anything. any insight can help. the goal is to be able to create these files with the same admin user ownership as all the other files on the site.

How To Change Name Of Uploaded Image File?
I'm using the following script to upload an image to my server. It uses the script: fileupload-class.php: <snipped url> It's working fine except it uses the uploaded file name when placing the file into my web server folder. I would like to change the filename before it is copied to the folder. I've tried everything to figure out how this is done. I've had no luck. Would someone be able to tell me where in the script I can change the name of the file before it is copied into the folder on my server? (i.e., agent_image_001.gif) <?php require("fileupload-class.php"); $path = "agent_images/"; $upload_file_name = "userfile"; $acceptable_file_types = "image/gifs"; $default_extension = "gif"; $mode = 1; if (isset($_REQUEST['submitted'])) { $my_uploader = new uploader($_POST['en']); $my_uploader->max_filesize(20000); // 20 kb $my_uploader->max_image_size(200, 150); // max_image_size($width, $height) if ($my_uploader->upload($upload_file_name, $acceptable_file_types, $default_extension)) { $my_uploader->save_file($path, $mode); } .........

File Permissions Of PHP Session Files
I noticed that the file permissions (unix) of the PHP session files have only read and write permissions for the Apache process (600 or rw- --- ---). Does anyone have any idea where this permission is set ? I can't find any umask or chmod settings for it in the php.ini file. Can't find anything in the httpd.conf either. Is it set in the PHP code that implements session_start()?

Uploaded Files Dissapear Once Uploaded.
Basically when I upload a file, the temporary file that php/apache creates is there until the upload finishes, then it is instantly deleted! the information in the $_FILES array says that no errors were encountered, but when I do move_uploaded_file there is no file there. If I monitor the temporary directory (i have it set in php.ini to use a temp folder which the apache server has full read/write on) while i'm uploading a file (and before it completes) I can see the temporary file there as it is supposed to be -- then as soon as it finishes, its gone. Code:

.php Files - Permissions Are Set Public Readable - So Can Public Get To See Actual Raw File?
As a newbie to PHP is it in anyway possible for a casual web surfer to actually get to see the PHP behind my .php file. E.g. if index.php contained PHP code to check if the page had been called with a variable such as "password", is there anyway a public member can get to see the raw php file and therefore see what the password is? index.php might be: if ($_REQUEST[password]="secret") {[color=blue] >Then show one page[/color] else[color=blue] >show another page[/color] } So if a user visits with index.php?password=secret they get to see the secret page. But as the index.php has to have file permission set so that anyone can read it, I'm worried that the public can just somehow view the file and learn the password.

Change Permissions To Allow Mkdir() But What About Security
When users register with my site I want to create a directory where I can store certain user files. This gives the user the ability to have a 'neat' domain name like URL instead of something like URL I have been successful using the mkdir() function in my scripts but I need to give write permissions to the URL directory as has been suggested in all the submissions to this forum. Is it safe giving write permissions to the site's main directory? If not is there another way to create a sub-directory without giving up any security?

Session Permissions Change Without Warning (HELP)

Files, Permissions
I need to be able to set the owner properties of a file that is being uploaded so that it can be counted towards the file quota. Basically my setup is as follows: A user logins in, uploads a file, and this file is saved in a directory out of the public folder. The problem is that the group and the owner IDs are being set to 'nobody'. This means that the files are not being counted towards a users file quota since it is setup (and I cannot change this part) to count quotas based on file owners. I tried using chgrp and chown but it says I dont have permission to. I cant figure out how to do this.

Renaming Uploaded Files
I'm trying right now to code a "user picture gallery" function into my website. I'm going to have it where when a user creates an account, a directory is created with thier account name as the directory name. This is where all their uploaded pictures will be. Now, when a user uploades a picture (along with a caption, and the time and date it was uploaded, etc etc), my script will first enter in all this information into a MySQL table. My question is this: how can I make PHP take the picture that was uploaded and rename it to something like "xxxx.jpg", where xxxx = an automatically incrementing number? The reason I need to do this is in case the user uploads two different pictures that have the same file names (this is going to be quite common, especially now in the age of digital pictures, when everytime you upload pictures from your camera to your computer, it names them the same file names -- like DSC80001.jpg blah blah you get the picture)

My concern is someone purposefully (or accidentally for that matter) uploading a file infected with a virus. I want to scan all files being uploaded and only copy them to the proper directory once they check out, if they don't I want to delete them and notify the user. My question is how would I go about installing and implementing a virus protector.

How To Delete Files Uploaded And Now Owned By PHP
Within homes/ PHP creates a directory, it's an integer such as homes/999 or homes/345. Within that new directory, PHP uploads some graphics, .gif or .jpg. The problem is, that directory and all those graphics are now "owned" by PHP, usually running as nobody or www. I can't delete them or copy them. I've tried running a chown() within PHP to make myself the owner, but I get "operation not allowed". The only solution I've found so far is to set umask(0), so that the directory and graphics have 777 permissions. I don't think that's very safe, though, is it? Does anyone have any suggestions. I want to be able to delete or copy the files like they are mine, but only me or my group. I'm not running the server myself, but those who are seem willing to work with me.

Permission Denied On Uploaded Files
I am writing a file that allows users to create a page and add images blah. Anyways, i'm getting some permission errors? The files upload fine but I can't get rid of them :confused: I get a permission denied error. I believed the permissions are set to 644? I have it set so a user can upload more than one file. they upload one and it uploads and then goes back to the form retaining their information. Anyways, my code moves their file from the tmp folder to ANOTHER temp folder I assign to them when they first visit the form. Could that be causing my problem? Here is a little bit of my code. $baseimgdir="blah/blah/blah"; ((its retrieved from database but its an example)) $file_name=$_FILES['file_name']['name']; $tmpfile=$_FILES['file_name']['tmp_name']; $temp_fold=$_POST['temp_fold']; if (!is_dir($baseimgdir.$temp_fold)) { mkdir($baseimgdir.$temp_fold,0777); } if (!is_dir($baseimgdir.$temp_fold)) { echo "IT FAILED"; } else { $suc=@copy($tmpfile,$baseimgdir.$temp_fold."/".$file_name); if ($suc) { echo "GOOD JOB"; } else { echo "FAILED"; } }

Problem With Renaming Files Before Beeing Uploaded.
I'm making a script that renames files (pictures) uploaded by users. All the filenames have to be unique, so if the filename already exists I have to rename it. How do I do that? I tried to use the rename()-function, but that didn't work because both the files in question have be located on the server for rename() to work. That doesn't work for me because all the files is uploaded in the same directory, and you can't have two files with the same name in the same directory without one of them getting overwritten. So what I need is a script that checks if the file that gets uploaded already exists on the server. if it does, it have to be renamed to someting unique ->before<- it gets uploaded. The names of the already uploded files is stored in a database. I've made this script, but it doesn't work and I don't know how to make it. The php-script and the uploaded files are in different directories. Anyone have a solution to this problem?? <? //Connecting to DB mysql_connect("my hostname","myuser","mypasword"); mysql_select_db("mydb"); //Querying DB $query = "SELECT picture FROM Ad"; //picture holds the name of the pictures already uploaded $result = mysql_query($query) or die(mysql_error()); //Checking if the picture alreadey exists in the database while($i = mysql_fetch_row($result)) { if($picture_name == $i[0]) //$picture_name is the name of picture the user has uploaded through a form { //Removing whitespaces before or after the picture_name $picture_name = trim($picture_name); //removing whitespaces in the middle of the picture name $picture_name = str_replace(" ", "", $picture_name); //extracting fileextension from the last post in $filext_array $fileext_array = explode(".",$picture_name); $fileexst = $fileext_array[count($fileext_array)-1]; //Making the new unique filename using current UNIX timestamp $unix_time = time(); $new_name = $unix_time.".".$fileexst; //Renaming filename. Get error on this line: "Warning: Rename failed (No such file or directory)" rename($picture_name,$new_name); //is it because the picture is not yeat uploaded to the server?? } } //Uploading picture to server $the_path= "/home/kvien/www/club-honda/pictures"; copy($bilde,$the_path .
