Hi all,
For any one following this thread, here is how I worked around the apache/php/chown limitation.
script snippet (and if any one has a more elegant style, please share as I am an amateur script kiddie).
$path = "/homes".$username;
$chowncmd = "/usr/bin/sudo /bin/chown ";
mkdir($path);
chmod($path, 0775);
exec($chowncmd.$username. " ".$path);
I modified /etc/sudoers;
#Defaults requiretty - I added the comment.
apache ALL = NOPASSWD: /bin/chown - added this line.
