Req #77319 [NEW]: Add an optional group paramter for chown() and lchown()

From: manuel dot schmitt at manitu dot de Operating system: n/a PHP version: Irrelevant Package: *Directory/Filesystem functions Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:Add an optional group paramter for chown() and lchown() Description: ------------ The chown() and lchown() function do currently change owner ($user) only. Especially for *nix systems it would be great to have an optional $group parameter for changing user and group in one step instead of using chgrp() / lchgrp() as another step. On most *nix systems this optional, 3rd parameter could be "simply" passed to int chown(const char *path, uid_t owner, gid_t group); int lchown(const char *path, uid_t owner, gid_t group); (from $ man 2 chown) I think an optional 3rd paramter should not break existing script/applications so it could be integrated very smoothly. Expected result: ---------------- chown() and lchown() should accept a 3rd, optional group name or group id parameter. Actual result: -------------- chown() and lchown() currently only accept only 2 parameters. -- Edit bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=77319&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.4): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=trysnapshot54 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.5): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=trysnapshot55 Try a snapshot (trunk): https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=fixed Fixed in release: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=needscript Try newer version: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=oldversion Not developer issue: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=support Expected behavior: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=notwrong Not enough info: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=submittedtwice register_globals: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=php4 Daylight Savings: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=dst IIS Stability: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=gnused Floating point limitations: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=float No Zend Extensions: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: https://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=77319&r=mysqlcfg
