Apache, and therefore PHP are running under the nobody account on your machine therefore files are created by the nobody user.
You can read up on permissions by using man chmod, man chown, man chgrp. Check www.apache.org's excellent documentation for more info on how Apache interacts with the OS at the file level (or the O'Reilly Horse book) and check www.phph.net for additional info on how PHP deals with this.

When php creates a file in unix the owner is nobody...does this raise any issues, and if it does could someone please tell me a web site where I could read more about this. Thanks alot.
