While Brian Leishman's answer will work, if you do not have the ability to edit permissions on the temp folder, you can make your uploaded file inherit permissions from its new location manually with the following on the command line:

icacls "target.txt" /q /c /reset

So, using PHP's exec() function:

exec( 'icacls "target.txt" /q /c /reset' );

For details of the various icacls flags, see: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc753525.aspx
