If that fails, I guess you could try: <?php ob_start(); phpinfo(); $phpinfo = ob_endclean(); ?> Then you have to dig out the PHP User from that. It's possible there is a PHP Constant here that is the User: http://php.net/manual/en/language.constants.predefined.php If none of those work, I'm guessing even Windoze has something like "whoami" so you could http://php.net/exec "whoami" or its equivalent, based on the http://php.net/php_sapi_name If all that fails, I'd just give up. :-) -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
