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?

I know its not a bug, thats why I put it under:
Feature/Change Request :)

Well, if you can't answer the question, can you tell me
where I can get an answer then? :)

this is just how the unix security model works,
only owner and root can chmod files
