[nycphp-talk] Determining if cmd line script is running as root?

Hi,

How does one determine if a command line PHP script is being executed as root?

If there's no posix extension there's no posix_getuid and if the user
did 'su' and not 'su -' then the USER environment variable may not be
root.

Any other ways?

Mike
