[PHP] File permitions
I've a web-site developed in Perl and, now, I'm converting it to PHP. I've a private directory in my site where I store the counter data (number of visitors, since when, last date) and other information like name, e-mail address, etc. of people who fill a form into the site. In Perl those files were created automatically, even the directory had "700" on permitions, in PHP I've to set it to "777", opening the access to those files to everyone. Is there any possibility to write to files as "httpd" or "system" (which can write to files even with "000" permitions)?

Re: [PHP] File permitions
Maybe I wasn't clear in my previous message: What I want to do is: when you fill the form, record it to a file without 666 permitions. I mean: I don't want to have the file "opened" to everybody. In Perl it was possible (because it uses directly "system" user, which is similar to "root"), I want to make it possible using PHP. E.G.: The PHP-script receives the form, makes an internal authentication and creates or writes the file with 600 permitions.

Re: [PHP] what does this mean?
As far as I know, you've defined $errorMsg previously as an variable, not as an array. If you'll not use anymore the previously defined $errorMsg just unset the variable using "unset($errorMsg)" before the attribution. I hope this solves your problem, it solved a lot of similar errors to me!
