Good Morning:
I am looking to create a thumbnail from an uploaded image, and then save it to
a directory.
I don't have any problem with the image functions, and can successfully create
the thumbnail and push it to the browser or, as is currently set up, store the
data in a database.
What I want to do instead, however, is take that dynamically created thumbnail
and write it to a folder on the server.
If I simply write the file, however, it appears I need to have a folder chmod'd
world read/writable for the process to work. My network guys do not want this.
I tried the FTP functions, which work great for copying a file that already
exists somewhere into another folder, but I can't seem to get it to recognize
the buffer as a valid source file location...
Is there a way to use a php FTP function to FTP the file out of the buffer to a
directory on the server, or some other way to write a file to a folder without
making that folder 0777?

Have your program create the folder and assign it 754 or 755, don't create it via Apache. Thus, the owner will be the
famous "nobody". The 754 means nobody [your program] has full rights; but the world only has reading rights. You'll
see all your standard folders created by the system are 755, which is safe also.
