Change permissions in Window 7 so PHP can write files [closed]

Question

I have WAMP installed on Windows 7 Home Premium

I am trying to install my Joomla Component locally on windows 7 but keep getting Permission errors.

Warning: file_put_contents(C:\PHP\workspace-php\Joomla_1.5.9\tmp\install_4c3c49163508c) [function.file-put-contents]: failed to open stream: Permission denied

Now I tried to change to change the permissions of the folder but this didn't seem to make any difference.

Can someone give me a rundown of how to change permissions in Windows 7 so that a PHP file has full control on a folder and it's subfolders?

Answer 1

If you don't see permissions at all in explorer go "Tools"->"Folder Options"->"View"-> scroll to the bottom in the advanced settings box and uncheck "Use Sharing Wizard(Recommended)".

Something to try is when you click on the folder and pull up the properties about half way down it says "Edit...". You should be able to edit at least your users permissions in there.

Also if the settings are inherited from a parent folder it wont let you change them til you uncheck the box in "Advanced"->"Change Permissions". I always choose "add" when it prompts what you want to do.

Let me know if it still doesnt work.

Answer 2

if you still can't work around this problem here is another work around, use Magento API:

$proxy = new SoapClient('http://Domian/api/soap/?wsdl');
$sessionId = $proxy->login('user', 'pass');
$newImage = array(
'file' => array(
    'name' => 'file_name',
    'content' => base64_encode(file_get_contents('your_pic.jpg')),
    'mime'    => 'image/jpeg'
),
'label'    => 'anylabel',
'position' => 2,
'types'    => array('small_image'),
'exclude'  => 0
);

$imageFilename = $proxy->call($sessionId, 'product_media.create', array('SKU',$newImage));

This will upload the image from any machine that can deal with SOAP, also remember to put the image file at the same directory with your code example: the code is at www/code.php image should be at www/image.jpg
