lchgrp - Changes group ownership of symlink
SYNOPSIS
bool lchgrp (string $filename, mixed $group)
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to change the group of the symlink $filename to $group.
Only the superuser may change the group of a symlink arbitrarily; other users may change the group of a symlink to any group of which that
user is a member.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the symlink.
o $group
- The group specified by name or number.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Changing the group of a symbolic link
<?php
$target = 'output.php';
$link = 'output.html';
symlink($target, $link);
lchgrp($link, 8);
?>
NOTES
Note
This function will not work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.
Note
When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether the files or directories being operated upon have the same UID (owner) as the script
that is being executed.
Note
This function is not implemented on Windows platforms.

chgrp(3), lchown(3), chown(3), chmod(3).
