Hi gang:

Please excuse me for asking another dumb-ass question, but here goes.

I'm finding that setting safe_mode to ON is more difficult than I first thought.

In my phpinfo, safe_mode is set to OFF

However, if I try to set it to ON in my ".htaccess" such as:

   php_value safe_mode 1

It doesn't work.

If I set it in my code, such as:

   ini_set( 'safe_mode', '1' );

It still doesn't work.

You would think the fine manual would explain this here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php

Table 42-1. Security and Safe Mode Configuration Directives
Name: safe_mode 
Default: "0"  
Changeable: PHP_INI_SYSTEM

but you have to look here
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.php
to find just what PHP_INI_SYSTEM means:

Table G-2. Definition of PHP_INI_* constants
Constant: PHP_INI_SYSTEM
Value: 4
Meaning: Entry can be set in php.ini or httpd.conf

i.e. *not* in .htaccess or by ini_set()
