You can use either php functions to read/write files and chmod() to change
ownership, or use the system commands with exec().

If your script isn't run by green or root, it won't have the right to write in
~green/, unless you change the ownership or privileges of ~/green before you
run the script.

chmod 777 ~green

When using a real multiuser environment, you won't get around without doing
things the right way.

If you run the script from a web browser, then doing an auth before using the
script, will allow the script be run as the user as whom you have authed.
