Hi, Just a quick question... What user does php run as on linux? Is it the Apache user? Is there some way to tell? I need to be able to set a directory so that only PHP can access it.
You can figure who apache/php is running as by using shell_exec() on the system command 'whoami': echo shell_exec('whoami'); HTH, Curt
