chmod() is a standalone function, and not part of the stream
read/write set. You don't have to have the file open to use it. It's
as if you called chmod directly from the shell.

You do, however, need to supply it a full path.

You may need to use fflush, if you run into buffering issues. Under
normal conditions, you shouldn't have to. You can explicitly use
stream_set_write_buffer to configure your stream for no buffering, but
again, unless you have a good reason to do so, you shouldn't.
