Problem with copy ( )

[Anon]

I've written a script to create a directory if it doesn't exist, and then upload one or more image files into it. Here's the snippet in question:

umask ( 0000 );
if (! file_exists ( $dest ) && ! mkdir ( $dest, 0775 ) ) error ( "Could not create unique images directory for article." );
umask ( 0002 );
copy ( $source, "$dest/$name" );

So first of all I create the directory with 775 permissions, then copy the image with the same permissions ( using umask() ).
The problem is, I can't edit/delete the files uploaded. Even via FTP, where I get 550 permission denied.
Any ideas? Cheers in advance.

When I try deleting it via a PHP script I get a message like this:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 511 is not allowed to access (path to image I want to delete) owned by uid 48 in (path to the script that originally created it) on line 2

Basically, my ultimate goal is to remove the images and their directory with PHP.

Thanks, I had a look at all those, except I still don't know what to do. I don't have access to httpd.conf or anything like that, what stumps me is that I can't touch the files via FTP when they're uploaded via a PHP script e.g. chmod even throws up error 550
