RE: [PHP] PHP User Permissions

[snip] Does anyone know how to define a PHP script (within itself) to run as a certain user. Currently my PHP scirpt runs as "nobody" and I need to change the user it runs as temporarily to get certain permissions to update a file. [/snip] A running script cannot change its own permissions, and if accessed from the browser will always run as Apache allows (which is generally nobody/nogroup). What you need to do is change the permission/owner of the file that you're trying to update with either chown(), chmod(), or both. HTH!
