a
anyone think they know whats wrong

 

[notfred]

set the permissions for /home/virtual/site113/fst/var/www/html/PhotoGallery/ toi allow the webserver to write files there.

so i should CHMOD to 0777?

 

[notfred]

no, just whatever permissions are neccesary for the webserver to write to that directory. 0777 will let ANYONE write to that directory.

If your user is the same user that the webserver runs as, 0755 is fine. If you're user is different, but you are in the same group as the webserver, 0775 should do.

Too many people set permissions to 777. If you set permissions like that, then other users can easily, say, delete all your files. It would work for the script, but it's a big security risk.
