What are the potential consequences of not having the correct owner/group settings for PHP files?

If the owner/group settings for PHP files are not correct, it can lead to security vulnerabilities as unauthorized users may be able to access or modify sensitive files. To solve this issue, ensure that the correct owner and group are set for PHP files, typically the web server user such as 'www-data' on Linux systems. 

// Set the correct owner and group for PHP files
chown('/path/to/file.php', 'www-data');
chgrp('/path/to/file.php', 'www-data');
