Under Apache 1.3 PHP scripts are all run as the Apache user. In a webhosting situation this means that I as a client can write a PHP script that will look at other peoples accounts because the Apache user has those rights.


Under Apache 2, PHP Scripts are run as the individual user so the scripts only have access to that client's files.
