fopen() security

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

As i understood the usage of fopen() for it to function correctly the Dir you write to has to be rw enabled for the php group, so that fopen() can acces the Dir to write to it.

When I try to write to the Dir that has permissions 666 I get the error "Permission Denied". If I try to write to the Dir and the permissions are set to 777 read/ write/ecexute for every one everything works as intended and fopen() write to the dir normally.

My question:
Why does a folder have to be executable for php to write to it using fopen()?
