PHP safe_mode Value
Hi,
I am using PHP Version 4.3.6, SunOS. I have 2 questions.
(1)Is there anyway to set safe_mode "off" for selected users and "on" for the rest of the users? (atleast for one user)
Basically, I need to invoke some shell commands/scripts from a PHP script. With safe_mode on, I am not able to execute any shell command.
(2) I have seen phpinfo(). It shows safe_mode on for "Local Value" and "Master Value". What is the difference between the two? Can I use this to solve my first problem?
How can change these values for a PHP script running on windows IIS 5.0.
I hope I am clear,
Thanks,
venkat.

>> So you can avoid trying ini_set("safe_mode", 0); as it won't work.
if this is so why is safe_mode specified as a configuration option in the ini_set manual? :s

I did try using ini_set() but no use. It seems I can override the default setting only in apache http.conf or php.ini and not .htaccess.
Is there any other way to  to set safe_mode "off" for selected users??
