hello scott,
Yes..! you can use system() comand
It goes like this
system("touch filename.ext"); // creates a file and file will be owned by
nobody
If you want to change the file permission do the following
chmod("filepath/filename", 755); decimal; probably incorrect
chmod("filepath/filename", 0755); correct value of mode
if you want to change the file owner
chown(string filename, mixed user);
Attempts to change the owner of the file filename to user user. Only
the superuser may change the owner of a file.
Returns true on success; otherwise returns false.
Note : Windows does nothing it just returns true
same as above you can also change the group
chgrp(string filename, mixed group);
Attempts to change the group of the file filename to group. Only the
superuser may change the group of a file arbitrarily; other users may
change the group of a file to any group of which that user is a member.
Returns true on success; otherwise returns false.
Note : Windows does nothing it just returns true
since you want to create a file temporarily you can keep the file owned as
nobody. After your work is over you can remove it.
system("rm -f filename");
for more informations about the above commands go through the manuals
cheers
