Subject: [PHP] Permissions on uploaded image don't allow for over writing


> PHP List,
>
> The Situation:
> I am building a content management system where users can, among
> other things, upload images into a directory.
>
> The Problem:
> The image uploads fine, but once it's there, it can't be over
> written. So if a user uploads an image, and then changes his or her mind
> and wants to upload a new version over it, the file upload fails.
>
> What I've Tried So far:
> I can manually edit the file permissions using chmod and setting the
> files to 777. But of course that's not something I want to have to do
> every time someone uploads a file. I don't know enough about file
> permissions and settings to know how I can set these permissions at the
> time that someone makes the upload.
>
> The Question:
> How do I allow a user, who is uploading via the web, place an image
> on the server with permissions that allow the file to be over written?
