OK - you asked for style... ;)
I personally think it's elegant to build such strings with sprintf() like..
$path = sprintf("/homes/%s", $username);
or exec(sprintf("%s %s %s", $chowncmd, $username, $path));
That way you don't need added whitespace on vars like $chowncmd and
you don't need the "ugly" . " " . "string" . "merging".
btw. be sure that you always use
http://php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellcmd.php as well as
http://php.net/manual/en/function.escapeshellarg.php when dealing with
user inputs and system calls.
