Linux file permissions.
To create a new file in the directories, you need the correct
permissions on the directory files.
To edit an existing data file, you need the correct permissions on the
directory and the existing data file.
To read a file from the directories, the web server needs the correct
permissions on the directory files and the data files.
You can change file and directory owners with chown, and you can change
file and directory permissions with chmod. However, determining the most
appropriate settings and use of these commands for your specific
instance that will allow you to edit the files and allow the webserver
to function is outside the scope of a php group.
Note that if you want your php scripts to write other files using fopen
/ fwrite / fclose etc, that will also be affected by the permissions and
ownerships of the files and directories involved.
