Hey all, I'm hosting my site (checkplease.dhs.org) off my own computer running Mac OS X 10.3.8 with PHP5 and MySQL4 and now that I have the display mostly hammered out, I'm working on submitting forms. I've got the whole database insertion working, but I need PHP to create directories and save text files and image files and for the life of me, I can't seem to give PHP the permissions to do so! I've spent the last two days crashing into this wall and am getting quite frustrated. All information I can find on the subject glosses over the permissions aspect and just assumes that PHP already has access to the filesystem. But how do I grant the permissions?Anyone have any ideas?

PS: authentication is completely lax right now. I'm focusing on functionality and THEN plan to tackle security and authentication.

PPS: If you want to test the system out, go for it. Just tell me what you did so I can clean out the database.

Thanks a bunch!
