PHP chown() Function


Hello folks! welcome back to a new edition of our tutorial on PHP. In this tutorial guide, we are going to be studying about the PHP chown() Function.

The built-in PHP chown() function changes the owner of a specified file.

Syntax

Following below is the syntax to use this function -

bool chown ( string filename, mixed user )


This function tries to change the owner of a file: filename to the user (specified by name or number). Only the superuser may change the owner of a file.

Return Value

This built-in PHP function returns TRUE on success and FALSE on failure.

Example

Try out the below example -

<?php
   // File name and username to use
   $file_name= "index.php";
   $path = "/PhpProject/backup: " . $file_name ;
   $user_name = "root";

   // Set the user
   chown($path, $user_name);
   print_r($path);
?>

Output

When the above code is executed, it will produce the following result -

/PhpProject/backup: index.php
