If you are trying to chmod() the file that is in /tmp from the $_FILES
array, you probably can't do that -- but after you
move_uploaded_file() you should be able to chmod that...  Works for
me.

You may need to play with the directory to which the files are moving
and you may want to do:

$old = umask(0);
move_uploaded_file(...);
umask($old);

http://php.net/umask

Also research what current owner/group and permissions are on the file
to see how you got into this problem to start with.
