This code should be considered as an OPTION only, it works under MY set of circumstances, and that is all I intended. The below funtion will return the NAME of the GROUP if provided with the Group ID#
function RC_posix_getgrgid($gid)
{
$LocationGroup = "/etc/group"; //EDIT THIS IF YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT OS. mine = debian
$fp = fopen ("/etc/group","r");
while ($groupinfo = fscanf ($fp, "%[a-zA-Z0-9]:x:%[0-9]:%[a-zA-Z0-9]\n"))
{
list ($name, $groupID, $nfi) = $groupinfo;
if ($groupID == $gid)
{
$returnval = $name;
}
}
fclose($fp);
if($returnval) { return $returnval; } else { return 0; }
}
