If you are familiar with Linux, you should know that when a PHP script creates a file, although the same permissions may be attached like other files, the owner of the file is different. The owner becomes "www-data" (i believe), and not the one that gets placed upon uploading a file via FTP or the File Manager. The only way to change permissions or edit the desired file is to create another PHP that performs such actions. Same goes for deleting that file.
