How to Turn Off Safe Mode in PHP
PHP is a server side scripting language used on many websites. As such, PHP scripts are often attacked. If the web server that the PHP script is running on has vulnerabilities, it may become compromised. Safe mode restricts functions in an attempt to close off the vulnerabilities. The safe mode setting will be removed in PHP 6.0 because it is not appropriate to solve server security issues at the scripting language level.
