Changing owner of uploaded files


carlg

Recommended Posts

I am using php with apache.  I have an application where the user uploads files.

 

When the files land on my linux server, they are owned by apache who is the username that actually runs the apache server.

 

What if I want the files to be owned by a different user? Is there a way?

 

I use move_uploaded_file to rename the file once it lands.  I know that php has a chown function, but you must be root to use it.

 

Thanks
