[PHP] Quick question: PHP user?

2003-10-10 Thread Grant Rutherford
Hi,

Just a quick question...  What user does php run as on linux?  Is it the 
Apache user?  Is there some way to tell?  I need to be able to set a 
directory so that only PHP can access it.

Thanks,
Grant

It all depends on how PHP is set up.  Do something like:

$fff = fopen (./temp,w);
fwrite($fff,testing);
fclose($fff); 

in a directory chmod 777.  Look at the user id.

(For what it's worth on my system its UID 518).
