Php Problem

[imageel]

Apologies - for the last post...

 

I have a set of php scripts in say directory A, which will attempt to create a directory in say B

 

so my script will call a function which performs a mkdir in ../B

 

however it fails with a permissions error.

I've checked the permissions of B and it is 755, so am a little confused as to what's going wrong.

 

Some sample output for the calling page -

 

Warning: mkdir(../newgallery-images/Sovereign/thumbs): Permission denied in /home/imageel/public_html/newgallery/thumbnail.php on line 9

 

..and line 9 is

 

mkdir ("$outdir");

 

and

 

$outdir = "$path/thumbs";

and $path is a parameter - in this case '../newgallery-images/Sovereign'

 

This is probably some stupid mistake on my part, but I would appreciate any assistance from you in resolving it

Regards

btw - it's now 22:35 local time - so I will not be around for ~ 22 hours - damn the day job!!!

I *think* to do that that you would need 777, but I'm not great with permissions. Worth a shot though.

Yes, the folders have to have 777 permissions to work correctly because the scripts are not running under your cpanel user name.
