note 82387 added to function.posix-getpwuid

Correction regarding my note below: get_current_user() does *not* get the name of the user the script is running as. Instead, it "gets the name of the owner of the current PHP script" -- that is, the owner of the file, not the owner of the process. To properly get the running user, test if function_exists('posix_getpwuid') and if not, assume you're running on Windows and call getenv('USERNAME'). ---- Server IP: 209.41.74.194 Probable Submitter: 209.131.62.113 ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.posix-getpwuid.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/82387 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82387/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82387/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82387/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82387/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82387/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82387/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/82387 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/82387 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
