I've got a script whose configuration creates a storage directory owned by the web server in which files get stored, also owned by the web server. With safe_mode in effect, I'm getting errors like:
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10054 is not allowed to access /path/to/some/data owned by uid 80 in /path/to/some/file.php on line 111 Wouldn't it make sense for safe_mode also to allow read access to files owned by the web server's process as well as the directory owner's? Obviously, a process running as uid 80 won't be able to suid to another user. If I make the directory owned by the user, the files will be inaccessible, but if I make the directory uid 80, then *it* will be inaccessible. Is there some other solution to storing (and then retrieving) files with safe_mode on?
