How do I give PHP write access to a directory?
- by SGWebsNow
I'm trying to use PHP to create a file, but it isn't working. I am assuming this is because it doesn't have write access (it's always been the problem before). I tried to test if this was the problem by making the folder chmod 0777, but that just ended up making every script in that directory return a 500 error message until I changed it back.
How do I give PHP write access to my file system so it can a create a file?
Edit: It is hosted on Hostgator shared hosting using Apache.
