How does one determine if a command line PHP script is being executed as root?

If there's no posix extension there's no posix_getuid and if the user
did 'su' and not 'su -' then the USER environment variable may not be
root.

If you don't have PHP's POSIX extensions you can get it from the shell with the 'id -u' command. If it returns the string '0' then the user is effectively superuser.

% man -S1 id
