PHP Permissions Dilemma

[Pete]

I'm developing an open source CMS, but have come across a problem. The
system dynamically creates .php files for the front-end of the site, meaning
they're owned by user 'nobody'.

However, for anyone with safe mode turned on, any "require_on ce" or
"include_on ce" commands used in these php pages won't work due to safe mode
restrictions (the script whose uid is * is not allowed to access..). I want
to this system to be available to users without access to the chown command
(many hosts block it), and with safe mode on, so any suggestions?

Many thanks.

Pete, I think php is being twisted here. Are you sure you need
dynamic php scripts in the first place. With scripts, the idea is
static code, and dynamic data.
