Question posted in 
POSIX does not appear when I run php -m cmd, however, I see it from the phpinfo() –enable-posix=shared on Linux with Plesk 9.
Basically, I can’t use posix_*() functions as described at
http://www.php.net/manual/en/ref.posix.php
this shows doesn’t exists:
if (function_exists('posix_getuid')) {
echo "posix_getuid available";
} else {
echo "posix_getuid not available"; // this prints in my server.
}
Could someone show me how to install it? Thank you.

I found the solution:
This package enables php-posix.
While resolved, the original problem would seem to be that
posix_getpwuidis not supported on Windows:from: http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.posix-getpwuid.php
On Windows,
posix_getpwuid()is not implementedif you just want the username of the current user, you can use
get_current_user().To properly get the running user, test if
function_exists('posix_getpwuid')and if not, assume you’re running on Windows and callgetenv('USERNAME').In openSUSE use command
zypper install php-posixfor installing php-process for using php functionposix_getuid
