I'm trying to mirror php3 web site, all works fine, except for the "Source" button in pages outside the root directory.
It seems that calling show_source with an absolute pathname conflicts with safe_mode.

This is the result of calling show_source("/mystuff/news.php3") and show_source("/www/www.xt.net/htdocs/mystuff/news.php3") from a file called /www/www.xt.net/htdocs/query_telecom.php3

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. Invalid owner. in /www/www.xt.net/htdocs/query_telecom.php3 on line 11
Fatal error: Failed opening required '/mystuff/news.php3' in /www/www.xt.net/htdocs/query_telecom.php3 on line 11

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. Invalid owner. in /www/www.xt.net/htdocs/query_telecom.php3 on line 11
Fatal error: Failed opening required '/www/www.xt.net/htdocs/mystuff/news.php3' in /www/www.xt.net/htdocs/query_telecom.php3 on line 11

Calling show_source("mystuff/news.php3") or show_source("query_telecom.php3") works fine.

You are probably confusing your web server's document root and your system's document root.  Try editing your php3.ini file and set doc_root to your web server's document root.  safe_mode uses this setting.  The error messages have been fixed and are more descriptive as of 3.0.4, so try it again with that version (when it is available) and let us know.
