chmod - file does not exist

Question

I got a file that's located in /uploads/original/img_329020110508094322.jpg

When I do <img src="/uploads/original/img_329020110508094322.jpg" /> It will display properly

I want to change the user rights to 0606, so I do chmod($this->fileName, 0606);

($this->fileName stores the path above) but all I get is file or directory does not exist.

Why?

Answer 1

cause your path is relative to your web root. add the location of your web root before the file name, and chmod should work.

what i'm trying to say is that chmod uses exact paths on your file system :)

Answer 2

chmod() operates on your filesystem. You must point to the image file within your filesystem, not within your web server.
