This *might* be correct with PHP as an Apache Module, but I doubt it.
I think it's more like:
Whatever -> PHP -> stdio.h File System calls
"Whatever" will affect what user is running PHP and thus what
permissions they have, but that's about it.
Is it then:
Whatever['Apache.exe'] (owns) System Process (which) Requests (using)
stdio.h
How/what determines the active process that is requesting the directive (and
matches access privileges)?
If PHP is running in CLI, I could see how this might be seen as a different
process, but I'm fuzzy about file permissions extended through primary
processes (such as Apache using an executable)... The whole apache GUID mess
seems like cryptic middle ages eye gouging...
