You're getting closer, though. :-) Now your problem simply boils down to one of security and file permissions. Alas, with Windows, that's a bit of a mess... Depending on the version of the OS you may or may not have a way to set the permissions of a file/directory for PHP to be able to do what you want... First, you gotta figure out what user PHP runs as. <?php phpinfo();?> Then, you gotta figure out if your Windows OS version even has the concept of "user" at all, and what user[s] it thinks should be able to muck with your files, and if there's some way to convince Windows it's okay to do that... I can only say that if you click on all the stuff with the right-click mouse thingie, and it still won't let you alter who can change which file, you're probably in trouble... Your probably should eventually move the files PHP can alter *OUTSIDE* the web tree, as a security issue. Though, with Windows, I'm not sure it makes a lot of difference, given the 'security' already there... :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
