bool chown ( string filename, mixed user )

Осуществляет попытку изменения владельца файла с именем filename на владельца, чье имя передано в параметре user (в виде числа или строки). Только суперпользователь может изменять владельца файла.

Возвращает TRUE в случае успешного завершения или FALSE в случае возникновения ошибки.

Замечание: Эта функция не применима для работы с удаленными файлами, поскольку файл должен быть доступен через файловую систему сервера.

Замечание: Когда опция safe mode включена, PHP проверяет, имеют ли файлы/каталоги, с которыми вы собираетесь работать, такой же UID (владельца), как и выполняемый скрипт.

См.также описание функции chmod().

Simple usage of the chown:



<?php



$file_name= "test";

$path = "/var/www/html/test/" . $file_name ;



$user_name = "root";



chown($path, $user_name);



?>

for some reason i was searching for chown() with an "on this mashine"-unknown userid and found martijn's hint very interesting. the main problem is, that if the numerical uid is used within a variable, it is checked against the /etc/passwd and returns "unknown user". a little note:



use intval(), not inval()! so all in all it is:



   chown($path_to_dir,intval($uidnumber));

            if (filetype ($typepath) == 'dir') {

                recurse_chown_chgrp ($typepath, $uid, $gid);

            }



            chown($typepath, $uid);

            chgrp($typepath, $gid);



        }

    }



 }



recurse_chown_chgrp ("uploads", "unsider", "unsider") ;

?>



for older versions.. unfortunately, it seems I do not have permission to perform these functions.

As far as I can tell, PHP's built in functions will not do a recursive chown or chgrp. But it wouldn't be hard to write a function for this. Here is some starter code based on an example written by John Coggeshall which I found at http://www.coggeshall.org :



<?php

function recurse_chown_chgrp($path2dir, $uid, $gid){

    $dir = new dir($path2dir);

    while(($file = $dir->read()) !== false) {

        if(is_dir($dir->path.$file)) {

            recurse_chown_chgrp($dir->path.$file, $uid, $gid);

        } else {

            chown($file, $uid);

            chgrp($file, $gid);

        }

    }

    $dir->close();

}

?>



I have not tested this code (but I think it will work) because for my current needs, a simple exec("chown -r $user.$group $path"); is sufficient. I would need this code if I were not in control of the contents of these variables because they can be dangerous on the command line.

If you want to chown a symlink, PHP will follow the symlink and change the target file.



If you want to chown the symlink, you have to use shell_exec("/bin/chown user.group symlink");

If chown is filled with a variable (  chown ("myfile", $uid) the uid will be looked up through pwget_uid.



So if you need to set a non existing uid use inval($uid).

If you allow sudo execution for chmod by "nobody" (www, webdaemon, httpd, whatever user php is running under)in this manner, it had better be a system on which the owner is able to be root and no one else can run code, else your whole system is compromised.  Someone could change the mode of /etc/passwd or the shadow password file.



Other system commands (sudo mount) and so forth are similar.
