trouble with photo upload

Hello,

I think I wrote a really good upload class and the class works fine on lots of servers.

On some servers I have problems with the chmod values.
The script uploads a file to location creates a 1 or 2 resized versions and finally the orig. file. so far zo good. The script creates also not existing directories with a chmod value of 0755. the files getting a value of 0644.

On some servers I need to create the upload folder with a mode 0777 otherwise ther is no permission to upload. creating the folders is not possible and resized file (GD lib.) is getting a 0666. What happens here is there something wrong on the shared host? I thought that php scripts are executed as an owner?

Well php is running as a process of httpd (apache)

So it will use the permissions of the apache user (on most installations that is the user nobody)

If this is a nix host you can try using the /tmp directory for your uploads. Propably it wont have any problem.

The problem on this hostings is not the upload, but the chmod value i have to use for the folder where I want to copy a resized version.

Oh. Then there is no other way to make this work.

Maybe you can try the php chmod command to make this a little more automated within your script, but propably your host wont allow this.

I can use the script if a new folder is created with 0777 but it's strange, Is this a common configuration of a webhost? don't have this with other hosts.

This is propably because the owner of the directory is not the same user with the Apache process or php runs under safe mode.

This is not clear to me:

I know that there are often problems with the user "Apache" what has to be done in this case ?

(PHP is not in safe mode)

For example Apache runs as user nobody and the directory is owned by the user root.

I think that this is the problem...I think I send an e-mail to support
