Re: [PHP3] creating files with php3 From: Chad Cunningham (ccunning <email protected>)
Date: 03/31/99

Anything PHP does it does as your web server. The web server is a valid user on
the system. This means that php can only read/write files that the webserver has
appropriate permissions too. Anyone who can use php can access any file that the
web server has permissions to.
