PHP won't copy file as read/write just read only

pizzipie · 07-28-2023, 08:52 PM

I have all my directories including [/var/www/html, set to user:group - rick:www-data.

"rick" is in www-data group and www-data is in rick group. Permissions are 0775. When I try to copy a file, with php script, to one of these directories the permissions on the copied file are read-only. Any solutions out there to create read/write files.

Thanks R

Use chmod on the file.

Thanks for reply,

I would rather the script write the file directly rather than using bash after the fact.

Well, bash has nothing to do with this.

You can try umask also: https://www.php.net/manual/en/function.umask.php

Although it says

Avoid using this function in multithreaded webservers. It is better to change the file permissions with chmod() after creating the file. Using umask() can lead to unexpected behavior of concurrently running scripts and the webserver itself because they all use the same umask.

Writeable by who? Please post the owner and permissions of the copy.

PHP can chmod a file it created.
