file saving problem...


Hi everyone,

I am using Fedora Core, version 6 as my development platform. My
problem is if i have to save my PHP files in /var/www/html/, i need to
log in as a root. As a normal user, the OS is not allowing me to save
the files in /var/www/html directory. Due to some restrictions, i
cannot always log in as a root. So is there is any other way i.e.
whether we can store the PHP files in some other directory etc...

Any suggestions ? Thank you in advance :)

The files you need to save could be stored in a sub-directory, and then
you could set the permissions (CHMOD) the directory to allow write
access from the php page. I would not recommend setting that permission
level on your docroot (the html/ dir).

Learn about Linux administration then set the appropriate owner/group
and permissions for the directory.

P.S. This has nothing to do with PHP.

I have a repair and backup database routine which runs when a user closes down my application. It works fine in my development machine, but breaks on a client's at the following line: If Dir(strLDB) <> "" Then Kill (strLDB) where strLDB is the path to the ldb file. The client advises that the ldb doesn't lurk after the program closes. Any ideas?

I figured my first step is to install the win32 extension, which I did, but I can't seem to find any documentation for it. A couple of the links on Mark Hammond's site don't seem to work. Anyway, all I need to do is search in the Word document for certain strings and either delete them or replace them. Easy enough, if only I knew which function, etc. to use. Hope someone can push me in the right direction.

I searched using Google, on the web and in the newsgroups, and found nothing on this topic. Hopefully that means I just don't understand what I'm supposed to be doing here. :) The problem: I am trying to use the SaveFileDialog class to get a filename, which is subsequently opened for writing (write access, read sharing, but using read/write sharing doesn't make the problem go away anyway).

My question is similar to one someone posted a few months back, but I don't see any replies. Basically I want to be able to have users upload photos and save them in a database (as byte data) and be able to load them to an image webcontrol, but system.web.ui.webcontrols.image only seems to have a control to load the image from a URL. There's no way to load this directly without saving the image as a file and then using...

Hi guys, I have a problem when trying to create an image file. Basically my code takes any file and gets it's system icon using SHGetFileInfo and then saves the file either by converting it into a bmp and saving to disk or by saving the icon using a filestream. In both cases saving the file works fine. However, when I open the newly created file from explorer I notice something peculiar. The file has a black background. I would have...

Hello to all! I am a newbee to C++, I did a beginners' course, and now I am stuck with a strange problem. I have written the function that is pasted downwards. The peculiar thing is that when I sent the function the value "0", the .lst file is created properly (the vector I am using/saving is made up of structs of one AnsiString (using BCB) called "naam" and one int called "nummer", I guess You'll get what they mean in English ;-))....

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
