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...
