    php environment array

    Hello,

    I don't know that much about php but I was asked this question :

    we have a testbox running Linux, Apache-1-3-29 and PHP/4.3.4

    echo "<b>ENV</b><br>";
    foreach($_ENV as $Name1=>$Key1)
    { echo $Name1." is: ".$Key1."<b r>";
    }

    when this is executed it says somewhere that the logname is root.

    However the apache server is running under the uid apache and group apache.

    I suspected that when this is executed it would say that the logname is
    apache or am I wrong assuming that ?

    thanks,

    Ron

      I don't have that environment variable.
      [ Debian GNU/Linux; Apache 1.3.29; php 4.3.3 ]


      When I run phpinfo() Apache User/Group is "www-data" as expected.


      If I do

      $ ps aux|grep apache|grep -v grep

      I get returned

      root 1021 0.0 0.3 143764 1304 ? S Feb10 0:00 /usr/sbin/apache
      www-data 1049 0.0 1.1 144056 4544 ? S Feb10 0:01 /usr/sbin/apache
      ....
      (lots more "www-data")

          Here's an excerpt of the script I use :

          <?php //preprocessing of form data

          echo "<b>ENV</b><br>";
          foreach($_ENV as $Name1=>$Key1)
          { echo $Name1." is: ".$Key1."<b r>";
          }
          ?>


          I think it is supposed to run on any php/apache combination.
