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() 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.
