(assuming you mean the script is run via a web interface and that this is
a Linux/Apache setup)
PHP runs scripts under the umbrella of the Apache user (looks like this is
user 99 in your setup) with the permissions/etc for that user.
Set up a user group with both (and only) yourself and the Apache user as
members. Set the directory's group ownership to this group (leave the
directory's personal ownership as yourself). Set directory permissions to
775.
