permission problems

[joeschoe]

My web site runs on an Apache system.
I create files using php.
When I try to delete these files (or modify permissions) using FTP I get permission denied error messages.
The file owner is Apache and the group too.
How can I change the permissions of these files so I can delete them?

Make sure that the owner has "write" privelages to the files.

There's always a better way. The fun is trying to find it!

see chmod(), chgrp() and chown() on the php documentation.

once you hae created the files, have your page change the owner and group, and you will be ok, possibly changes the permission too (0755) for security.
