PHP 4.0 Bug #7744: safe mode php wrong script uid

From: meik.doell@eed.ericsson.se Operating system: SunOS 5.6 PHP version: 4.0.3pl1 PHP Bug Type: *Configuration Issues Bug description: safe mode php wrong script uid in safe mode, the php script uid seems to default to 1 instead of the httpd uid (taken from apache httpd process) case 1) no safe mode: apache runs as http uid 11101 and a php script readable by uid 11101 can be accessed and is parsed - fine. case 2) now safe mode is enabled and a php script owned by uid 11101 or in a directory owned by 11101 is read but not parsed. Message is "Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 1 is not allowed to access /path/script.php3 owned by uid 11101 in Unknown on line 0." I am sure that apache does not run with uid 1 but with uid 11101 because scripts readable by uid 1 but not 11101 are not even found by apache (403 forbidden). Where does the php script uid 1 come from? The only way to get php4 and safe mode working now is to have the directory or file owned by uid 1 which is neither apache's uid nor the user's uid - i can't imagine this is intentional? -- Edit Bug report at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=7744&edit=1
