thumbnails owned by apache

[esromneb]

Hi, I downloaded a thumbnail script, and have made my own modifications. So far I'm having these problems.

For starters, I had to do a umask(000) for my images to even be readable.

Second off, all my images are owned by apache. Is there a way to chown them to my user? Thanks

When a PHP script runs, it runs under the user as which Apache runs. If your Apache server is running as the user apache, all files created by scripts running under your user should be owned by apache.


PHP supports a chown() function.

When an image or file is uploaded by a php file, the owner of the file is apache(cause apache is running the php-engine) so if you want to make any changes to the file you should use php.
if you want to change the attrib use chown() after you have upload the image! and have in mind use this mode (0777) for 777.

No, I was reffering to the tag that tek-tips puts on all messages. I was confused and I thought it was from the users. But I get it now. Thanks
