The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

PHP upload, How do I set file permissions, Windows Server 2003 IIS

Asked by thearniec in PHP for Windows, PHP Scripting Language, Microsoft IIS Web Server

I am running PHP on Windows Server 2003 using IIS.  I have a form through which someone can upload a file, and I want to prevent them from overwriting a file already on the server by using a duplicate file name.  So far, the only way I've found to do that is to set the file on the server to read only.  If I were on a Linux box I could CHMOD the files using PHP after upload, but since it's Windows I don't know what to do to protect the uploaded files.

if(move_uploaded_file($_FILES['uploadedfile']['tmp_name'], $filePath)) {
     //Here is where I'd like to set file permissions
     echo "The file uploaded successfully and your data is now ready for viewing.";
} else{
   $problemsfound = "Upload Error.  Please try to upload your file under another name.";
   echo $problemsfound;
}
}
