First of all, this is about PHP 6. There would be no reason for changing the safe-mode page as safe-mode does not exist in PHP 6. Second, there is a difference between features and recommendations. Several features is documented even though they would not fit in a "best practice" recommendation. Third, there seem no consensus about such "best practice for shared hosts". Some recommend open_basedir and disable_functions (or safe_mode). Some recommend running php as different users. While there might not be a need for just one recommendation I believe "safe_mode isn't safe so don't rely on it" only tells users what not to do without providing any alternatives. If there is a clarification I would like to write some documentation aiming at PHP6. But before any consensus and possible new directives it would be too early to put up some text. -- - Peter Brodersen -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
