System administrators please help

I have a php script installed and when it creates folders, the folders give me a 550 permission denied when I try to edit/delete that folder.
What do I need to do to be able to delete these folders?
Can anyone help?

Thanks

you need change the ownership of the folders after they're created.

How do you do that?

How do you do that?

http://www.php.net/chown

http://www.php.net/chown

O.K. so I have to have my programmer add chown code to the script which changes the ownership of the folders after it's created? Thanks I will talk to the programmer for that.

But how can I delete these folders right now? Either through ftp or ssh.

Probably wouldn't work since you would have to be nuts to allow sudo execution for nobody/www/etc

have a script that's running under the web server's context chmod them 777

I tried chmod the folders to 777 in ftp manually but it's still not allowing me to delete the folders. Keeps giving me 550 permission denied.

you need to write a script that does it and run it under the web server's context, then you'll be able to delete using ftp. alternatively if you have root just SSH/SFTP in and delete them manually.

ok thanks. I'll have the programmer write the script
