 Hmm, after inspecting this a little bit I came to the conclusion that
 it's not possible to make this work on a broad range of setups.
 (with the current code!)

 Unless you use suExec you'll always get root's values with getmyuid
 instead of the uid of the apache user specified in the apache conf file!

 I wonder why you don't use "is_writable" and "is_readable"?
 (they work reliable, don't they?) And it works for directories too.

function getTotalFileInfo($wholePath) {
 // -----------8<------------- snip -----------------------
    $info['writeable'] = is_writable($wholePath);
    $info['readable'] = is_readable($wholePath);
}
