for creating empty files, you can try

PHP:

<?php

touch ( '/path/to/file.txt' );

?>

if you want to create a new file then write to it after, use fopen

Is there anyway I can set the properties for the file? Because after it gets created, I have to manually chmod it so that I can edit it.

i usually use fopen with "w" and fputs into the file and it is ok...
if u want to change the mode, i think u can use
chmod("/usr/fullpath", 0666)

touch('Scott');

fopen('radley');
