    Hey,

    I have a dedicated server and I am wanting /home/number1/example.php to include /home/number2/example.php.

    However I am getting a permission denied error, understandably as I am trying to access a file not assigned to uid number1. How do I go about correcting this so I can do what I require?

    Any help would be appreciated :)

    Both uid can be assigned to same files or directory.

    a quick solution will be to change permission of /home/number2/example.php to 777 and that will get rid of any permission problems
