I don't believe that it's possible to do this inside PHP. I would suggest writing a seperate script to do all of the stuff that requires a different UID/GID. As you said, you could write a bash script, or you could use Perl, or even a PHP CLI-mode script. You could then make the script executable, change the owner of the script to the desired user and set the setuid and setgid bits, and then call this from your PHP page using system() or exec(). I've done this on a few occasions and it works well... -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
