so should I do this one sudo chown username directory?

Directory is not writable: /var/www/cgi-bin/../images at /var/www/cgi-bin/getgraph.pl was the output to Millers code. and if I try to write to /tmp/blah.$format it works fine. I wonder if it will work if I do a sudo chmod a+x to my /var/www directory. but if I do what does that mean :)

how can I "sudo open(IMG, ">../images/the_image.$format") :)

exelent thanks here is the error Can't write file: Permission denied at /var/www/cgi-bin/getgraph.pl line 80. how do i give the "browser" or w/e it is permission

that is part of the weirdness here is what I have #### snipet ##### print "test "; open(IMG, ">../images/the_image.$format") or die "Can't write file: $!"; print "test "; #####end snipet ###### The first "test" shows up on the web page but the error from the open doesn't, nor does the second...

Cool I changed it to that and it did not fix the problem. That line still fails for some reason when I run it through the form on my index.php (it works when I sudo run it) anything else you could think of?

ok how do I get it to open in a different folder. /var/www/cgi-bin for apache 2 what would / mean? my system / or would it be "www/" and where would be a good place to do the store?

So what I have done is made a cool .pl script which opens the database takes out some data, uses GD:graph to make a nice line graph and it creates the graph, the line of interest is open(IMG, ">graph/the_image.$format") or die $1; this line works when I run the script. HERE IS WHERE IT BREAKS...

Sweet Thank you very much man! That is exactly what I was trtying to do!

What I want to do is take a number (say from a for loop 1,2,...) make it 4 bytes long(in representation) and append it to a string like this. $theString.=the4ByteNumber; # "xxxxxx0001" for example

Hi, I am trying to take a number format it as a 32 bit(4 byte) unsigned integer, then append it to a string. the string I want is the follow "#0001", where the integer was 12. does this make sense? so this is what I thought I should do it $string = "#"; $int = pack('L',1) $string.=...
