Hi, this looks like a great (active) place!

I have a pretty simple PHP upload script that I'm having trouble with. It uploads successfully, but for some reason the files always end up with the permissions set to 600. This is on a shared server, and FTP uploads to this folder work with no problem, also, uploads via a different script I'm running on the same server work fine, too.

I've tried setting umask, but either I'm doing it wrong, or that's not the issue. I'm pretty well stumped. I would be incredibly grateful for any help!

Here's the script code (in case it helps):

<?php

class Upload{

var $uploadpassword = 'temppass';   //for you added security againt bots
var $storage_folder = './uploads';
var $site_url       = 'http://www.site.com/uploads';   //must be same as item above
var $filesize_limit = 10485760; //= 10MB in bytes

var $allowed_extensions = array('pdf');  //this checks the files extension but is not enough security on its own, hence the next section below

var $allowed_file_types = array('application/pdf');  //checks files MIME type for added security         
 
///////////////////////////////////////////DO NOT EDIT BELOW THIS LINE /////////////////////////////////

I've searched some on Google, and apparently you can't fix this with PHP.
The suggestions I've seen involve using shell-access to chmod the file.

Once you have the file in the final directory, if you can define the filename you should be able to chmod it via php right within the same script that moves it. In the past I have done it but right the call escapes me.

You will be limited by the server settings and 644 or 655 is about all you will be able to do via php.

Thanks, guys! I really appreciate the help.

644 or 655 should work fine- it would at least make the file readable. I'll do some more looking around.

Thanks!

Since I sometimes forget what threads I have posted in, PM me if you strike out and I will find the 2-3 lines of code. Pretty simple though it is just
chmod ($filename 644);

Thank you, colbyt- that's very kind!
