You can chmod a file at anytime, whether it is open or not.  at the command
line you use the chmod command.

In response to the various fclose() message:
    fclose() is *never* necessary.  not even in long scripts, short scripts
    or medium sized scripts. PHP 4 is reference counted, meaning when 
    the file pointer variable is no longer referenced in the script it is
    automatically cleaned up.
