file and directory permissions

[kosi]

Hey there everyone. I have a question: I want to write a script that will write content to a file. Right now I have the directory that the file is in set at 0777 permissions and the file set at 0666 permissions. But I only want this script to be able to write to my file and my directory, not the whole world. Is there a way to do this? Perhaps to have the script identify a uid or gid or something? Thanks in advance.

You could use chown() (http://www.php.net/chown) to set the directory to the httpd user group (or whatever user "runs" the PHP script).

Hope this helps.

It won't let me do this :-( It says I don't have permission.
