Symfony Process run as who?

Question

When we using Symfony\Component\Process\Process, the command run as who?

I tried the command whoami through Process, but it return void???

$return = exec('whoami');
echo $return."\n"; // return [myname]
$process = new Process('whoami'); // The symfony process
echo $process->getOutput(); // return nothing @_@

Yes, it runs as user you run this command or the user of your webserver. Your code seems a bit incomplete. I suggest adding $process->run(); before trying to get an output.
