Set all new files and folders within a directory 777 permissions

I have set up a client area on my website: http://samberson.co.uk/clients/

When a user uploads a file, it makes a folder, within the 'files-folder' directory.

I have set the 'files-folder' directory to have 777 permissions, however, when a new folder is made, it has 764 permissions, meaning that it messes up the PHP script (client area) and so then it doesn't display the image.

Is there a way that I can make all new files and folders within the 'files-folder' directory have 777 permissions automatically?

I found the answer our from the developer of the client area. He said to put umask(0); in the index.php file within the parent directory, just underneath the set_reporting call. Thanks for all your help!
