Re: is_uploaded_file() emulation?

Thank you - but that wasn't the question - as you can see, I started the second paragraph with a reference to that function - my problem is what I compare the result to - i.e. how do I find out *my* UID, not the file's. Mr. Kelly's solution should work, but it's rather absurd (from a PHP point of view) to have to create a file just to find out what my uid is... I'm sure there should be a more reasonable method - but I don't know it. Hoping somebody does... ;-) Thanks! Bogdan Stewart Gateley wrote:

$owner = fileowner ($file); returns a string containing the owner or false. see http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.filesystem.php -- Stewart --- Bogdan Stancescu <mgv@fx.ro> wrote:

Hello all! How do I find out if a file was actually uploaded /without/ using is_uploaded_file()? My first though is that I should use fileowner() on the file and see if it's the same as the user who runs PHP (Apache) - but how do I find that out? I don't want to use exec("id -u") either because the syntax may be different for distinct systems and I'd like to avoid system calls if possible. I'm open to any suggestions to solve the original problem - not necessarily using UID's. Thanks!
