php writing files and permissions

[Simon Redmond]

Hi,

I have a php function that uploads images to a directory on my server,
I've just changed hosting company and now I get the following error msg:-

failed to open stream: Permission denied in

I can get round this by chmod'ing to 777..... but I don't really want to
do that... do I???

pointers appreciated.

Simon ,

before uploading the file chmod to 777, upload the file , change chmod back.
