    I'm not sure if this is the right forum.. anyway:

    Any files on the server that are created with by a PHP script have an Owner/Group of 99 99. From googling, I think that means that they have no owner and the problem is, I can't modify the files unless it's through a script....

    Can anyone help me?

    Make a new script then you can change the owner with chown();

    If the owner/group is 99 then the httpd process uid is also 99 which means that chown() is not available.

    However, you can at least chmod the files to give world write access (chmod 0666 for files, 0777 for directories). This will allow local users on the server to modify those files.
