 Posted: Sun Aug 21, 2005 7:29 pm Post subject: Help with permissions. |
 |
|
I am trying to find if their is a way to change permissions on a windows system. Here is what i have so far...
| Code: | <?php
$user="user";
$to="../../user_files/$user";
$ind="../../user_pages/index/index.php";
mkdir("$to");
fopen("$to","r+");
fopen("$ind","r+");
copy($ind,$to);
fclose();
?> |
When trying to use it i get an error that says:
| Quote: | Warning: fopen(../../user_files/user) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\programs\dev\dev.php on line 7
Warning: copy(../../user_files/user) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\programs\dev\dev.php on line 9 |
Any ideas? Let me know. It may be something simple that i'm not seeing |

Im not sure PHP might not be giving you the wrong error, but its right click -> security in windows for file permissions assuming you have an OS that supports it and have the service that supports it running.
Giving a folder permissions doesnt allways give its subfolders and files permissions on windows too.
It could be that you're using ../../user_files/$user, would ../user_files/$user not work? (I thought ../ would represent the docroot, too lazy to try.)

^-- From right clicking on a folder, then properties.
Click everyone, then tick every box under allow.
(And yes I was too lazy to thumbnail that screenshot.)
Otherwise try changing the line I mentioned.

:S
That means you dont have the service running or it doesnt exist on XP home, either way you shouldnt have that error you have.
For debugging purposes, try...
| Code: | <?php
$user="user";
$to="../../user_files/".$user;
$ind="../../user_pages/index/index.php";
mkdir($to) or die("Error location: 1");
fopen($to,"r+") or die("Error location: 2");
fopen($ind,"r+") or die("Error location: 3");
copy($ind,$to) or die("Error location: 4");
fclose();
?> |

That's odd.... Any ideas?
| Code: | <?php
$user="user";
$to="../../user_files/".$user;
$ind="../../user_pages/index/index.php";
mkdir($to) or die("Error location: 1");
fopen($to,"r+") or die("Error location: 2");

$ind="../../user_pages/index/index.php";
mkdir($to) or die("Error location: 1");
if (file_exists($to)) {

} else {

}
fopen($ind,"r+") or die("Error location: 3");
copy($ind,$to) or die("Error location: 4");
fclose();

Well, as far as I knew it was the service entitled "Server", but that isnt started on my machine and I have permissions. Try starting it and see.

Here's what i'm trying to do, maybe you have a better idea.
When a user signs up their username is sent to the processor page which is the one i'm working on. Then it needs to create a folder with the user's name. Then copy an index page from another directory into the folder just created. I'm up for any ideas. The problem is i need all this to work without me at the computer if you know what i mean. I was wondering if their is a way to copy an entire directory and renameing with the users name to try something diferent becouse the permisions doesnt seem to be working as you see. |

XP Home does not have an accessible security tab, unless you are running as the main Administrator in Safe Mode. This is one of the differences between Home and Pro.

What exactly are you trying to achieve? I'm no PHP guru, so I can't read your script too well. It may be that the easiest way would be to use system calls to shell out to the attrib DOS/console command if all you're trying to do is change the read only flag, or cacls if you are trying to change detailed security permissions.
Is your drive formatted to FAT32 or NTFS?

The problem is is when i try the script i get a permission error. SO... I'm trying to find a way to set the permissions for the directory when or roght after it is created.....Automaticaly

Looking at line 6 / error 2, isn't your problem that you are trying to open a directory for direct access, rather than a file? There are no file operations which can be performed on a directory, only the contents...

Even without that line i still get a permissions error with the copy:
| Code: | | Warning: copy(../../user_files/bloo) [function.copy]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in C:\Program Files\Abyss Web Server\htdocs\programs\dev\dev.php on line 7 |
| Code: | <?php
$user="bloo";
$to="../../user_files/$user";
$ind="../../user_pages/index/index.php";
mkdir("$to");
fopen("$ind","r+");
copy($ind,$to);
fclose();
?> |

find your php.ini its usually in c:\windows\php.ini or c:\php\php.ini in my case. Check for safe mode option and make sure it is false/off/no.
