fopen() uses the user running PHP to open the selected file.
This causes problems when you e.g. make a filemanager. All
files created with the filemanger will be owned by the www user and
chmod'ed to 644. On the other side, the filemanger
cannot alter files as they are (mostly) owned by the user (e.g. raz0).
This makes it quite hard to make useful filemanger. Other commands like
unlink() and rmdir() don't
bother whether the files are owned by one or another user.

Is there someway you can fix this?
