chmod (http://php.planetmirror.com/manual/en/function.chmod.php)
Be sure to read the notes on that page, as there are a number of restrictions and limitations on using this function within a script.

ok, I want my permissions to look like this: rw-r--rw- what code would I use?

chmod("/somedir/somefile", 0646);

r = 4, w = 2, x = 1 - just add them together and prefix the 3 digits (owner, group, world) with a 0 (zero) to indicate it's an octal number.
