There's no need to do this, since php can write files by default. The only
problem you'll encounter is that php runs as the same uid as apache, in
thise case httpd. And if this user doesn't have write permissions on a
certain dir or file, php just can't write files. There are several ways
around this problem. From creating a dir owned by httpd to giving the
rest of the world (and thus httpd) rw access to a file or dir (chmod
o+rw). You'll have to pick a mix of ownership/permissions which suits you
best.
