Set permissions:
chmod()

Another question
when i tryed to create a new directory it came up with a permission erro:
Warning: mkdir(/home/ruski/public_html/hello): Permission denied in /home/ruski/public_html/create.php on line 3
Which permission is that?

If you are on unix system, make sure that you have write permission to directory where you are trying to create this directory.
and the Code is :
Code: Select all
mkdir("dirName", 0777); // this will give all rights to the new folder

<?php
mkdir("/home/ruski/public_html/host/hello",777);
?>
That is what ive got and I still get the permission error, ive the set the directory permissions to where I want to create a new folder to 777 and still the same.
Thanks

Never mind i got it working
I had to set the php file permission to 777 the one that I was running to make the new directory.
Thanks for all the help
