lchown — Changes user ownership of symlinkDescriptionbool lchown ( string filename, mixed user )

Attempts to change the owner of the symlink filename
to user user (specified by name or number). Only
the superuser may change the owner of a symlink.

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Note: This function will not work on
remote files as the file to
be examined must be accessible via the servers filesystem.

Note: When safe mode is enabled, PHP checks whether
the files or directories you are about to operate on have the same UID (owner) as the
script that is being executed.

lchgrp(),
chgrp() and
