 |
|
I'm hosting a lot of websites, and everybody with an account could easy hack my server with a simple PHP-script. If i run PHP in safe mode, is it possible for a user to, for example, write a file to C:/windows/system32?
And if i run PHP in safe mode, what are the bieffects? |

Safe mode prevents unauthorized users from employing PHP scripts to access
other users' data and possibly gain access to their files.
There are a number of functions restricted/disabled in safe mode...
