getmyuid() afaik returns the owner of the script that is currently
running. If you get root's value the script probably is owned by root.

That is what I wanted to do some testing on. It won't be
correct with safe_mode, which probably would need some "extra checks".

However there seems to be no easy way to get the uid of the proces that
PHP is running with, at least I haven't found anything.
