so umm anyone know how chown works?

Your script needs to be running as "root" user, since in most setups chown() can only be run by root.

From php manual:

Only the superuser may change the owner of a file.

Hope that helps.

Yes, but what is the exact code, I know that the root has to be used, but what is the code that to be used

like chown(dir); or what?

[nsr81]

chown("/path/to/the/file", "username");
