Help Needed- Php Mkdir() PHP mkdir() - Permission denied

[signatureimage 0]

My PHP script, running on Xisto.com,calls the PHP function mkdir() to create a new directory.This works on my home development-server on Microsoft Windows with Apache.This works on my home test-server on Linux Fedora with Apache.This does NOT work on Xisto.com: "Permission denied".According to the CPanel File Manager, the properties ofthe parent directory are: permissions 755:User: Read-Write-ExecuteGroup: Read-ExecuteWorld: Read-ExecuteAny idea, administrators?

it seems to be a CHMOD issue, is the parent directory the default (public_html) or one that you have made. you could always try setting the default dir to 777. or this could be a temporary problem as a result of the down time to Xisto, as some of us did have problems logging in cpanel and the like.what is the code you are using?although it does seem most likely an issue with the CHMOD settings although 755 should allow creating of folders shouldn't it?lets see what the mods or admins say. they are smarter than me lol.

Dear overture,

 

You asked for the code:

//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------// Called by F_Create_Folder()function F_Make_Folder($P_foldername)	{	if (file_exists('../'.$P_foldername))  {  return "OK";  }	else  {  if ($rc = mkdir('../'.$P_foldername)) 	 { 	 return "OK"; 	 }  else 	 { 	 return "KO"; 	 }  }		}//---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Note: the if ($rc = mkdir('../'.$P_foldername)) is not a comparison, it is an assignment, whose boolean value is tested.

Therefore, only one equal sign is used...

 

 

 

Dear overture,

 

Your suggestion to modify the permissions to 777 will temporarily be tried.

775 would be enough though.

Dear marijnnn,

 

Have tried 775: was not enough.

 

Have tried 777: works.

 

But I agree with you: 777 is not safe !

you could chmod your files by php tot 777 when you need them and then change em back to 775 or even less? :Pit's a lot of overhead though :s
