PHP lchgrp() Function

PHP lchgrp Function


Definition :
The PHP lchgrp() function attempts to change the group ownership of the specified symbolic link. Only the superuser may change the group ownership of a symlink arbitrarily. Other users may change the group ownership of a symlink to any group of which that user is a member.

Note: This function doesn't work on remote files as the file to be examined must be accessible via the server's filesystem.

Syntax

  lchgrp(file, group)

Parameter
