Permissions on created files

Server: RH 9
Apache 2.0
PHP

When i create a file thru PHP with something like: $fp = fopen ("/tmp/file",
'a+') permissions are -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache.

How do i change the default permissions or better how to specify permissions
at file creation ?

Those permissions are correct for the file to be retrived later
by Apache itself. Anyway, setting umask for ther user will fix
the problem.

umask will allow me to create a file with different permissions fine.

but i still cannot achieve what i want.

Thru a web page a "lock" file is created.
Thru a scheduled process (not root nor apache) i need to delete the log file

Doing the rm i get Operation not permitted.

I added my user to the apache group to no avail, i still cannot delete the
"lock" file

Any ideas ?

You need to run the process with enough permission to delete the
files, note: you can delete a file no matter what the permission on
the file are if you can WRITE in the directory the file is in. So
it doesn't matter the file in itself, but the directory.

My temporary files are created in /tmp (since this is a 'special' directory,
i'll change the logic to create temp files in another location where both
users (Apache and my cron user) have write access.
