Reading a user's home directory with PHP

Question

I cannot find a way to get the user's home directory (e.g. / home / jack, something in bash) in PHP using CGI (suPHP). The $ _ENV array is empty, and getenv ('HOME') returns nothing.

The reason I want to do this is because, in the absence of a configuration that says otherwise, I want to find the variable files used by my application in /home/user/.myappnamehere, as most Linux applications do.

---

I built something, but this is not the best; Although it works, it takes a lot about the system (e.g. having / etc / passwd)

 $usr = get_current_user();
    $passwd = file('/etc/passwd');
    $var = false;
    foreach ($passwd as $line) {
        if (strstr($line, $usr) !== false) {
            $parts = explode(':', $line);
            $var = realpath($parts[5].'/.report');
            break;
        }
    }
