CHOWN(3) 1 CHOWN(3)
chown - Changes file owner
SYNOPSIS
bool chown (string $filename, mixed $user)
DESCRIPTION
Attempts to change the owner of the file $filename to user $user. Only the superuser may change the owner of a file.
PARAMETERS
o $filename
- Path to the file.
o $user
- A user name or number.
RETURN VALUES
Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.
EXAMPLES
Example #1
Simple chown(3) usage
<?php
// File name and username to use
$file_name= "foo.php";
$path = "/home/sites/php.net/public_html/sandbox/" . $file_name ;
$user_name = "root";
// Set the user
chown($path, $user_name);
// Check the result
$stat = stat($path);
print_r(posix_getpwuid($stat['uid']));
?>
The above example will output something similar to:
Array
(
[name] => root
[passwd] => x
[uid] => 0
[gid] => 0
[gecos] => root
[dir] => /root
[shell] => /bin/bash
)
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.

chmod(3), chgrp(3).
