Who is www-data?

I am trying out my new contact form, contact2.html on my localhost

I am the only user on this laptop.

The contact2.php writes to:

Quote:

$path = $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] . "/19BEhw/html/php/uploads/oral/"; echo 'path is ' . $path; $time = microtime($get_as_float = false); $newname = $studentnr . "_19BEsW16_" . $time; $fp = fopen($path . $newname, 'w'); fwrite($fp, $body); fclose($fp);

But the owner of the saved file is now www-data!

I am user: pedro

I can quickly use chown, but I'd rather the files were mine as they are written.

How can I achieve that??
