Equivalent of $_ENV['APACHE_RUN_USER'] in PHP-CLI

Question

I'm running a PHP script from CLI interface.

How can I get the running user name like when I'm in Apache ( $_ENV['APACHE_RUN_USER'] )? At now I'm using exec('whoami'), but is not platform-indipendent.

Thanks.

Answer 1

I had success with $_SERVER['LOGNAME']

Answer 2

You could use $_ENV['USERNAME'] and it may be portable at least between Win and Linux
