file saving problem...

Hi everyone,

I am using Fedora Core, version 6 as my development platform. My
problem is if i have to save my PHP files in /var/www/html/, i need to
log in as a root. As a normal user, the OS is not allowing me to save
the files in /var/www/html directory. Due to some restrictions, i
cannot always log in as a root. So is there is any other way i.e.
whether we can store the PHP files in some other directory etc...

Any suggestions ? Thank you in advance :)

The files you need to save could be stored in a sub-directory, and then
you could set the permissions (CHMOD) the directory to allow write
access from the php page. I would not recommend setting that permission
level on your docroot (the html/ dir).

Learn about Linux administration then set the appropriate owner/group
and permissions for the directory.

P.S. This has nothing to do with PHP.
