AND WHAT USER OWNS IT? (Hint: under UNIX, "ls -ld" will tell you this.
Under PHP, the stat() or fileowner() function will give the numeric user id,
and the posix_getpwnam() function will translate that to a name.)

AS WHAT USER?
(Hint: under UNIX, various forms of ps will give the user name running
the 'httpd' or 'apache' process. )
