Is there a way to change folder permissions from PHP without using FTP?

Question

Is there a way to change folder permissions from PHP without using FTP? I'm creating new folders on server automatically, but i cannot move the uploaded file in it because of the folder permissions. Do you have any idea that I can change the permission of the folder without using FTP?

chmod('/home/path/directory/', 0777)
