[H-GEN] giving apache write permissions on a directory

Hi,

I am playing with php's file upload functions and all works fine except if I
try to copy the file into the document root of the particular domain.  I
give a permission denied message.

I know this is because the web server (apache) does not have permission to
write to the directory "../images/uploads/"

I could just change the permissions on the directory but that seems very
dangerous to me... how can I give apache permission to write to the folder
without compromising security?

TIA

Greg
