What user runs PHP?

[j_70]

I have an app that uses PDFLib to read some images off the file system (Red Hat linux) and puts them into a PDF. I have permissions set on the directory to be readable by the owner and the group, 'images'. I made apache a member of the group 'images' but get a permission denied error when trying to read an image from the images directory. Is there some other user that owns the PHP app. TIA.

Env.
PHP 5.03
Red Hat ES4
Apache 2.02

Get a process list a check which user Apache runs under. That's your guy. When you create a new file you'll need to chmod it probably.
