    permission accessing via file()

    Need to access a single text file for read
    only where it resides using file().
    To test the code I copied it local because
    I got "permission denied" message where it
    exists.
    Any safe solutions?
    TIA

      Carved in mystic runes upon the very living rock, the last words of of
      comp.lang.php make plain:

      You must either modify the permissions on the file, or run your script
      through a wrapper or under suexec.

          missing info:
          php-4.2.2-17.2
          httpd-2.0.40-21.3b
          Linux nebula 2.4.20-8dcustom #5 Thu May 22 01:37:13 EDT 2003 ppc ppc ppc
          GNU/Linux
          Text file deep several directories in a /home/<user> dir.

          Someone must know about security and permission problems ??

              Make sure that the webserver can access this directory, and that it has
              permissions to read the file.
