This *might* be correct with PHP as an Apache Module, but I doubt it. I think it's more like: Whatever -> PHP -> stdio.h File System calls "Whatever" will affect what user is running PHP and thus what permissions they have, but that's about it.
Is it then: Whatever['Apache.exe'] (owns) System Process (which) Requests (using) stdio.h How/what determines the active process that is requesting the directive (and matches access privileges)? If PHP is running in CLI, I could see how this might be seen as a different process, but I'm fuzzy about file permissions extended through primary processes (such as Apache using an executable)...
