Re: [Rolodap-develop] Intro and Mailing List Patches

[Philip W. <p.g...@st...>]

No, I think this has confused the issue.
I added fileurl and sumfileurl because the values in these variables are wh=
at=20
Rolodap passes back to the browser for user access to the files (ie=20
http://server.com/rolodap/temp/file.csv).
HOWEVER, the files need to be written by Rolodap into the Unix filesystem. =
The=20
filehandles need files of the form /var/www/rolodap/temp/file.csv
Unless these is some PHP feature of which I am unaware (I'm an experienced=
=20
programmer but PHP newbie) that enables opening filehandles from URLs then=
=20
the proposed change should not work.

Also, could you explain what the issue is with ownership?

Thanks,

Phil.
