My PHP Forum

[mburt]

Hi everybody,

Today I slapped together a neat little project. It's a forum, located at: http://www.mikeburt.net/forum (designed it myself)

It works well, the only thing is that I haven't implemented "edit" features yet.

Sign up if you want.

Your design style is very op-art. I like it.

attempted to be the first person to reply and received the error below while trying to respond to the "forum is up" announcement

Not to bad thus far though

Thanks guys... I know the reply is a problem. My cpanel won't let me change my folder permissions (for whatever reason) on the thread folders. It's really annoying, and I've tried practically everything.

Is there some kind of flag with fwrite I can use to automatically set the permissions to 777?

[techietim]

Nope, got to use chmod.

[mburt]

Ahh that's just what I was looking for. Thanks man.

This is the error I get however:

Warning: chmod() [function.chmod]: Operation not permitted in /home/mburt/public_html/forum/member/post.php on line 5

Do I absolutely need 777 permissions to use fwrite?

[boogyman]

no its not mandatory. generally the permissions should be set at

751 (folders)
644 (files)

I believe that chmod() can only be executed from the machine, not in a script... If you have a ftp login, try to use that? or possibly a cli client like PuTTy

When you create a file with PHP, you should have writes to modify it with any other PHP script on your server.
