Hi,
I am setting up a cron using php.
I have a file which I want to update by doing file_put_contents() on it via cron and via web browser (manual).
everything via web brower works fine, but cron gives a "permission denied".
I am overwriting the file each time it gets updated.
How can I resolve the permission issue?
Thanks in advance.
Did you set your permissions on the file to 0777?

I do not know how to set it programmatically.
Setting it via FTP is useless because each update rewrites the permission.
by "update" I mean running file_put_contents() on the file using the web brower. with cron, nothing works because of the permission problem.
I think I understand the reason being each time file_put_contents() is used, the file is re-created and the owner changes.
currently what I do is to unlink() the file, and then file_put_contents() again. But I think this is quite ridiculous because I can unlink() but cannot overwrite? So, I would like to learn how to do it the proper way with permissions. Any advice?
Thanks.
What you should do is set the file inside a folder, set the permissions of the folder, and all content to 0777.
That way, every file that gets sent to that folder will have the correct permission.

Like I said, everytime the update takes place, the permission resets. So it doesn't work out. =(
