That is right but...

... as far as I have tried getmyuid() always gets the owner of the
scipt that currently is running. I does not take into consideration the
uid of the apache process whatsoever.

put in some php-file owned by user 1033. call it and getmyuid() will
report 1033, do a chown on the script to uid 1055. getmyuid() will
report 1055 while the apache-process of course has not changed
ownership.

I might be wrong, I only had a quick glance. ;(

BTW: getmygid() is even funnier, because it will report the gid of the
owner of the script

Cheers,
Peter
