[PHP] files created with mkdir and open(file,"w+) are owned by nobody

[Ryan Hilton]

I'm creating directories and files inside of a php program and they are
owned by nobody.

How can I assign an owner to them and who should the owner be?

Where is  documentation for these types of questions?

Here is the code snipet:

create a directory - I would also like to create it with 775 privledges, but
I can't create a file in the directory unless it is 777:

        if(!file_exists(DIRECTORY))
        {
                // create the directory
                $oldumask = umask(0);
                mkdir(DIRECTORY, 0777); // or even 775 is more secure
                umask($oldumask);
                if(!is_dir(DIRECTORY))
                {
                        $return_status[0] = false;
                        $return_status[1] =  "there was an error creating the 
directory.";
                        return $return_status;
                }
        }

create a file:

                $fd = fopen($file,"w+");
                if(!$fd)
                {
                        $return_status[0] = false;
                        $return_status[1] =  "3) A system configuration error has been 
detected.
Your request cannot be processed.";
                        return $return_status;
                }


Thanks in advance for your help,

Ryan
