Running a binary created by server without chmod +x

[Eathuz]

I've been programming something in C that in cooperation with PHP should make the server create a binary file and afterwards execute it. But since chmod +x is not an option, do you guys have any alternatives, or is it simply a no-go?

No go.

That would be a massive security bug!

The C-library offers a chmod() function. I'm not sure I quite understand your post in its entirety, namely what is inferred by 'binary file'.
