How can I set permissions of a file to let a PHP program read and write but not be read by the public. When I set read permissions it denies PHP to the files.
A:
- change ownership to the apache user (either apache, www-date or http, depending on OS).
- modify permission,
chmod 700orchmod 750

`600` / `640`, unless one is working with executable files... (sorry, pet peeve of mine that everyone seems to force all their files executable, makes admin tasks like _finding_ executables a hell...)

I think you meant `www-data` rather than `www-date`

double doh ... yea i meant read/write w/ no execute. www-date if he's using debian.

You'll need access to the console either via ssh or directly logged in. Do you have such access?

umm, so ssh is shell (command prompt), what do I use? `chown file.txt "apache"` or something like that

yes, you'll need to figure out which user owns the apache process.
