I doubt your PHP process has root access to your server. You'll need to
either change the permissions on the directory you're uploading to
manually outside the program of write a shell script that does it and
call that from PHP, then write another one that locks it back up and
call it from PHP as well, but I'm not even sure that would work, unless
you su'd first, which I don't think I would ever consider doing from PHP.

~A!

What about the other attributes? Did you try 644 or 744 and why do you
give executable status to public?

Does the Apache user have write permission in the directory containing
"upload"? If not, you won't be able to chmod the directory. And if
"apache" IS the owner, then you probably don't need it.

What are you trying to protect here? Why don't you just set the
permissions to 775 and have the group be the Apache group?
