Another possibility is to ask the admin for their user login & password for thier account and upon completion of installation chown the files back to admin's user/group.

In a shared hosting environment, I doubt that's going to work. Chown is usually only available to root. Unless you have a decent host who will chown them for you then your stuck.

However, you might consider using FTP to create the files through PHP such as
Quote:

$handle = fopen ("ftp://user:password(at)example(dot)com/somefile.txt", "w");

then no chown needed. Will need username and password though. This is a lot more likely to work in a shared environment.

Note: Had trouble using code tags in this post. Had a weird duplicate last line effect in post preview. Used quote instead with no trouble.


Nothing I say is worth two cents but I still get $100/hour with a half hour minimum.
