I beleive I have discovered why I can not change the permission to 777
becasue php scripts run as user nobody.

so the solution would be to have "nobady create the directory with the
permission of 777 while it runs.

I have attempted to use FTP_MKDIR and FTP_CHMOD and this to fails
resulting in a 755 permission.

I do believe the reason some people dont help as they could not be
bothered, I know some one knows the answere here and is having a real
good laugh.
