title: Default windows user for Apache & PHP
body: <p>Looking at the processes running for Windows XP it appears that Apache (httpd.exe) runs under the SYSTEM user. but I can't figure out what User is used for running PHP scripts. It's a basic installation using Xampp. </p>
  
  <p>I am trying to set the correct permissions on a directory (i.e "Modifiy") so that a php script can create a txt file and then write to it.</p>
  
  <p>If I were using IIS it would be something like "IIS_USER". What would be the equivalent <strong>Apache User</strong> for <strong>Windows XP</strong>?</p>
