I’ve just created a php snippet that allows me to upload pictures. Im working on my personal pc that runs Windows7, IIS7 and PHP.
The wierd thing is that Im allowed to upload and it works great, but if i go to the folder: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\imgupload\uploads and try to view the image then im now allowed because i dont have any rights. Adding my user to file rights solves the problem but thats a bit silly aint it? im using php’s move_uploaded_file()
any thoughts?
The webserver (IIS) and PHP run with different permissions as you yourself. It’s the webserver that receives the file and writes it to disk. So it is entirely reasonable that someone else (i.e. you) does not have access to it.
