I have seen functions on web hosting sites where they aloow you to change the permissions of a file via the web how are they doing this I am asking this question here because I want php to do the same thing if possible.
Is it possible???

Did you look it up in the manual?
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.chmod.php
Keep the Unix security model in mind: The Web server can change permissions on files it owns, but not on files it does not own.

I'll go ahead and clear that up a bit if you don't mind yelvington. :p That means, apache is usually run as nobody.nobody (user nobody and group nobody) which has special meaning to *nix systems. However, files are "usually" run as user.user. An example is dotwebbie.dotwebbie is the owner of File A.
