    Is there a way to find out if a file can be chownd or chgrpd ? Something
    like is_writeable() Except that youre trying to find out if you can
    change the or Group of a file.

    fileperms() perhaps?

    You'd have to compare the return value against the uid/gid the
    webserver runs as, which can be obtained via getmyuid()/getmygid():

    Alternatively, you could check if the file exists, then attempt to
    chown/chgrp it. If the chown()/chgrp() returns false, you probably
    don't have permission.
