I cannot delete a couple of folders on the server as the have the owner
'nobody'. All I am doing is making the folders with

mkdir($customer_id, 0755);


Now is there a way to set the ownership when I created the folder. What is
the appropriate folder levels for securoty (755, 640?)

Thanks,

R.

   If you search the archives, I wrote out a very long post on file
and folder security a few weeks back.  Also, chances are, you can't
chown() the files with your PHP scripts, but you can do either....

<?
   exec('rm -fR '.$customer_id.' >> 2>&1',$ret,$xc);
   $xc == 1 ? echo $ret : '';
?>

   .... or, by far easier....

<? unlink($customer_id); ?>

   Since your existing scripts run as user: nobody, the file delete
script will, as well, meaning the files and folders that were created
via the web can be removed via the web.
