This is why Phormation should be run under your user ID. If it's run under the 
user ID of the web server, the files it creates are going to belong to the web 
server. Unfortunately this isn't something I can handle by just being smarter 
about programming. This is the way server security is designed. 

If your host doesn't know what a script wrapper is, or insists they're a 
security hole, you should find a better host. A script wrapper is a security 
*measure*. 

There most likely is a way to delete files belonging to the web server on your 
system - there is on my system. But I don't know what it would be for you. 
You'll have to ask your sys admin.
