posix_setgid

(PHP 4, PHP 5, PHP 7)
Set the GID of the current process
bool posix_setgid ( int $gid )

Note:

If the caller is a super user, this will also set the effective group id.

Parameters:
gid

The group id.

Returns:

Returns TRUE on success or FALSE on failure.

Examples:

<?php
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //20
posix_setgid(40);
echo 'My real group id is '.posix_getgid(); //40
echo 'My effective group id is '.posix_getegid(); //40
?>
