Probably nothing at all. You need to look in httpd.conf to see what User is set to. If you can't look in httpd.conf (at an ISP) <?php phpinfo();?> may tell you. If all else fails, you can *probably* do: <?php exec("/usr/bin/whoami", $results, $errorcode);?> echo implode("<BR>\n", $results); if ($errorcode){ echo "OSError $errorcode. Usually path/permissions. man errno.<BR>\nMaybe don't even have permission to exec whoami... :-(<BR>\n"; } -- WARNING richard@zend.com address is an endangered species -- Use ceo@l-i-e.com Wanna help me out?
