For example...
mkdir directory
chown www-data.group directory/
chmod g+s directory/

then fopen, fwrite, close, etc.

The new file is owned www-data.group, not www-data

If I su to www-data in a shell, and do
> newFile

the newfile is created www-data.group like it's supposed to.

I've tried chgrp'ing the file after creation to the group, 'group' but get operation not permitted.

Not a PHP problem. Set your apache conf right
and it should work. all files are created and have
the same permissions as the webserver.

Apache is running www-data.www-data. Why is this Apache's problem? What conf directive would enable this? I know that new files are created as the user which apache's running as, but does PHP not implement it's own functions? Wouldn't this be apache's fault only if PHP passed all file creation functions over to Apache? Does it?
