You usually see a number where the user or group should be only if the UID or GID is not found in /etc/passwd & /etc/group. But php *should* be creating directories with the same default group that the webserver is running as. Is 'test' the directory that you created using mkdir() in php? If so, is what you're seeing repeatable? Do all directories created using mkdir() have '4294967295' as the group?
