Sample Solution:

- Get Current Script Owner:
- The get_current_user() function retrieves the username of the owner of the current PHP script. This is typically the user account under which the web server is running.
- Output the Owner's Username:
- The echo statement concatenates the string 'Current script owner: ' with the result of get_current_user().
- It outputs the full message, followed by a newline (\n), displaying the current script owner's username.
Output:
Current script owner: students
