I ended up using posix_access() which is what is_writeable() should be. is_writeable() is virtually
useless.

Deleting permissions seem to be the same as writing, they probably have

is_writable() seems to virtually useless in most cases. It doesn't take
into account the directory ownership/permissions; which, best I can
tell, is the real determining factor.
I've resorted to having to determine the directory's ownership and then
compare the directory's rights with the owner's and then the other
['world'].
E.g., Assume my script was loaded with ftp, so it's ownership is the
site-name, and I want the scrip to be able to determine if it can delete
a file. Thus, the file in question must have its "other" permissions
include write.
Surely, there must be an easier way.
