Check this code:
<?php
$url = 'http://www.example.com/downloads/count.txt';
$hit_count = #file_get_contents($url);
$hit_count++;
#file_put_contents($url, $hit_count);
header('Location: wmwc.zip');
?>
#file_get_contents is working fine and the header location change to the downloaded file also works, but either the hit_count increase or #file_put_contents isn't working, because the number with the file doesnt increase by 1. I've set the file permission to 777, but when I try to set the directory permission to 777 also I get a 500 internal server error saying "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request."
You can't write a remote file via http.(If you could do that, every one else could change that file also.)
You need to use the local path.
try changing directory properties
chown www-data:www-data <dirname>
and/or write as follows, if you host on linux
<?php
$var ="hi";
shell_exec('echo "'.$var.'">>log.txt');
?>

I'm working with the bing-ads api and try to download a report to a local folder.
I already found out the user that is executing php using
<?php echo exec('whoami'); ?>
which resulted in "dl-dominikl-pc\dolo"
I gave that user full control of the "reports" folder.
The code-part that is failing is:
fopen($downloadPath, 'wb');
with $downloadPath being "C:\\xampp\\htdocs\\crm\\bingAds\\examples\\reports"
Thanks to Saitama for reminiding me to check my path which didn't point to a file!
I created a web application with a file browser. I'm trying to add a functionality where the user can change the chmod/permissions via an ajax request which is handled via PHP on the back-end.
(Side Note: I'm running my local with WAMP)
So initially, I'm reading the permissions with this
substr(sprintf('%o', fileperms($relativePath)), -4)
to get this format (0777, 0644, etc), if not it returns something like 32726. This info is used to be displayed in the UI for the user to know whats current.
However, when I run the script, I set it to 0777 and it seems to run fine. But then when I read the file again, it returns 0555 or 0444. Anyone know what I'm missing?
Does your web server own the files it is trying to change the permissions on? You can check whether chmod ran correctly or failed by testing its return value. It will return FALSE if the webserver did not have permissions. For more information you can read: http://php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php
<?php
$is_success = chmod("myfile.pdf", 777);
if($is_sucess) {
echo "success<br />\n";
}
I realized this was not an issue, but rather the chmod command does not work properly on a windows/apache setup.
Check this code:
<?php
$url = 'http://www.example.com/downloads/count.txt';
$hit_count = #file_get_contents($url);
$hit_count++;
#file_put_contents($url, $hit_count);
header('Location: wmwc.zip');
?>
#file_get_contents is working fine and the header location change to the downloaded file also works, but either the hit_count increase or #file_put_contents isn't working, because the number with the file doesnt increase by 1. I've set the file permission to 777, but when I try to set the directory permission to 777 also I get a 500 internal server error saying "The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request."

I want to create an SVN checkout PHP script. All you need is to call a function and pass two parameters: the SVN URL and the output path.
My problem is, that our SVN server can only be accessed via https. But through https, the function doesn't work. Normally the function should return a boolean, but I just get nothing. My first thought was, that I have no permission to write into the output path folder, but I changed the permission to 777 (temporarily). Still doesn't work. I also tried to get some files from another SVN trunk. Behold, this is working. I get the files. Any idea how to get this to work?
Aah, and yes, I set the svn trunk permission to read-write for everyone.
Here's is my code:
<?php
$result = svn_checkout('https://{LINK_TO_SVN_TRUNK}', dirname(__FILE__) . '/tmp');
echo "Result: ".$result;
?>
This is what I have used successfully in the past:
svn_auth_set_parameter(PHP_SVN_AUTH_PARAM_IGNORE_SSL_VERIFY_ERRORS, true);
svn_auth_set_parameter(SVN_AUTH_PARAM_DEFAULT_USERNAME, "username");
svn_auth_set_parameter(SVN_AUTH_PARAM_DEFAULT_PASSWORD, "password");
$changeLog = svn_log($path, $start_revision, $end_revision);
Please confirm if the extension is enabled. php.ini should consist of extension=svn.so or php.d folder should consist svn.ini with the line extension=svn.so. You can check for extension in phpinfo();
So, I have this simple little php script. It runs and compiles fine and works the way I want it to on the machine that I coded it. I'm running it on a personal home web-server running Debian 6.0.6, 32bit. It's apache with php. And I know for a fact that php is working on the server.
<?php
$hitsfile = "hits.txt"; #name of file
$filehandle = fopen($hitsfile, 'r') or die ("Couldn't read file."); #Opens file, 'hitsfile' to be read.
$hits = fread($filehandle, 5); #reads file to the introduced variable, 'hits'
fclose($filehandle); #closes file
$hits++; #increments the variable that it read.
$filehandle = fopen($hitsfile, 'w') or die ("Couldn't write to file."); #opens file to be read.
fwrite($filehandle, $hits); #writes the hits variable to file.
fclose($filehandle); #closes file.
echo $hits; #outputs the hits variable.
?>
When I access the file from the server, via a web browser, I get the "Couldn't write to file." error. So then, it's opening the file properly, and reading it. And when it opens it to write, it fails. I'm assuming this is some sort of problem with permissions or something. I'm sort of at a loss as to how to solve the issue. Any ideas? Assistance would be greatly appreciated! I've googled for a couple days now, and I can't solve the issue. I'm a php 'noob' and I'm very new to running a linux-based web-server, but hey, you gotta learn somehow. :*l
tried to check the permissions to the file? The Linux file system have a very strict permission system. Write on terminal:
ls -la /path/to/my/file.txt
This would give you your permissions on the left column. Please read this article to be sure, and check if Apache have the "write" permissions to the file. If not, use the chmod command to give Apache access to the file (or the chown command, to change the owner of this file to apache, if the owner of this file have writing permissions).
