php write permissions

ok so I think this was discussed but I couldnt find exactly what I was looking for.

I am running into some bumps with php write permissions
I know the easy way is just chmod everything to 777 but I dont think this is wise or secure

my hosting is using cpanel is there a way I can enable the php write permissions myself or should I contact my host?

thanks in advance.

It needs to be chmodded such that the user Apache is running as can write to it.

so can I do it myself or do I need to contact my host?

If you can chmod it properly, you can do it yourself. If you can't, discuss it with your host.
