The permissions (r----x--t) is coming from your mode setting in your mkdir()
function AND from the system setting umask -- see manual -> umask() and check
out user comments as well.

You can't.
The user:group comes from the user running the webserver, which in your case
is nobody:daemon.
Only root can the the user:group ownership of files and directories. So unless
your webserver is running as root you cannot use chown()/chgrp().
