[PHP] Changing file permissions - Help!
Hi First, thanks for reading my post...I tried to post this yesterday but it disappeared - so if you've seen this before, please ignore it... I am needing to change the permissions on a folder that is owned by 'usr'. However, as I am trying to do this from a browser through php, I am browsing as user 'nobody' and therefore I cannot change the directory permissions. Some things to note. I know that you can change permissions through ftp or telnet, however I am trying to design a system that can be installed simply by uploading it and then working through a browser. Many of my customers who will use the system use dreamweaver to upload and have never heard of chmod. I do not want to have to manually set permissions on the directories for them. I am aware that php has some ftp functions and that these could possibly be used to change the permissions. However, my ISP has not enabled these php features and is unlikely to do so. Is there another way? I know that you can use passthru() to chmod a dir (as user 'nobody') - but that's about the extent of my knowledge. Any help much appreciated.

[PHP] OOP .. I just don't get it.
Hi
I've been using php for a while now but I have not got my head around OOP
(classes).
Why bother using them? I've read thru a few tutorials on using classes and
the examples given are quite simple. This is probably the problem - I just
can't see the benefit of using this style of programming.
Here is what I'm getting at.
USING A CLASS-
class Table {
var $rows;
var $columns;
function MakeTable() {
draw a table with $this->columns as the number of columns
and $this->rows as the number of rows
}
}
$mytable = new Table;
$mytable->rows = 5;
$mytable->columns = 10;
$mytable->MakeTable();
---USING A NORMAL FUNCTION-
function MakeTable($rows,$columns) {
make a table with $rows as the number of rows
and $columns as the number of columns
}
$rows = 5;
$columns = 10;
MakeTable($rows,$columns);
---
Using a class doesn't appear to give me any benefits - in fact the code is
longer.
I know that you can spawn more instances of the same class which sounds
useful, however I can also run my function as many times as I like using
different variables.
What am I missing here?
Thanks
Mojo

Hi Phillip
Yes, thanks this does help.
The problem with the tutorials that I have seen so far is that they are very
simplistic and therefore do not reveal the benefits of this style of
programming.
If anybody knows of any good tutorials, I would appreciate a link.
Thanks

[PHP] Re: capturing email adresses
As far as I am aware, none of the major web browsers will reveal the email address of the user to any website or web application. This is for privacy reasons. You will need to get your guests to enter their email address in a text field to capture it for your records.
