[users@httpd] Query about script ownership

[Arturo P <pe...@flashmail.com>]

Hello
    In PHP the get_current_user 
<http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.get-current-user.php>  function 
allows one to find out what user the script is beign run as. Is it 
possible to dynamically set this variable? That woudl really help with 
file permission iusses.

Thank you.

You may want to investigate using the suexec functionality of
apache to allow scripts to be run as the user they're owned by.

There's also a php suexec patch for mod_php4 I believe - suphp is one
that I know of although there maybe be others.
