What role does the "www-User" play in determining ownership of directories and files created by PHP scripts on a web server?

The "www-User" typically refers to the user account under which the web server (such as Apache or Nginx) runs PHP scripts. This user account is important because it determines the ownership of directories and files created by PHP scripts on the web server. To ensure that PHP scripts have the necessary permissions to create directories and files, the "www-User" should have appropriate ownership and permissions on the target directories.

// Set the ownership and permissions of directories and files created by PHP scripts
chown($targetDirectory, 'www-data'); // Change ownership to the web server user
chmod($targetDirectory, 0755); // Set directory permissions
