I'm missing something...If you had PHP run under a user which had ownership of the files and you set the GLOBAL permissions to 770 so nothing on the outside world could access your files but your PHP scripts could...how is that not giving you READ/WRITE protection???Because I prefer to have write protection instead of *some* read protection ...
