Run as non root?

just give read or execute permission to all on the file and PHP will be able to read.

Heya, Muffinthief.

Apache should be configured to run as (generally) www, apache or nobody. This value can be changed in httpd.conf in Apache's configuration directory.

If your webserver is executing scripts as root, you need to fix this ASAP! Look for the User directive in httpd.conf (http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.3/mo...ommon.html#user).

Who is your hosting provider?

Thanks pbmods, that's what I needed. As for my hosting I just have my own server running on localhost for testing. I left it at the default and the program that I was running approximated that as root.

Glad to hear you got it working! Good luck with your project, and if you ever need anything, post back anytime!

I'm going to go ahead and move this to the Apache forum for reference.
