 Thanks, but this would not work in safe mode.
 
 I solved the problem by having a cron job making a local copy of
 /etc/group once in a while; my script then goes through it line by
 line to extract the groups.  But this is a hack...
 
well, why exactly do you need the groups from /etc/group again?
maybe there's a different way to do it.

[PHP] iterating over /etc/group

2001-07-03 Thread Arcady Genkin 

Does PHP provide no high-level means of iterating over the UNIX
/etc/group file, a la getgrent() C function?  The task is to figure
out all groups that a user is in on a system with PHP in _safe mode_
(hence, cannot read from /etc/group directly).
Am I overlooking something?

Many thanks,
