Setting your file permissions to group and world writable (chmod 777) is a very significant security issue and should always be avoided. By doing this, you potentially allow other users to update and write to your files. (PHP Open_Base restricts this by default, but it is very bad practice to set insecure permissions)

If you require php to write and/or update a file you should set file permissions to a maximum of 755.
