permission denied writing in samba shared directory on linux

i have a windows directory which i have shared with linux redhat(test
www root). Now i would like to write session files to a 'sessions'
directory on linux with php. But it keeps telling me that it has no
permission to write in that directory. i cannot change the permissions
from 755 to 777 as root.
this is part of my fstab file
//windowspc/windowsdir /var/www/html/windowsdir smbfs
username=administr
ator,password=pass,uid=0,gid=0 0 0

So can somebody help me?

This exact same inquiry is made here every day, without exception.

$ man 8 mount

Use umask to set the permissions on the share. umask=0 will grant total
access to everyone, umask=022 will grant total access to the owner of the
share and r+x to all others.
