Okay - set up a common script directory. /home/httpd/phpi
in php.ini - set include_dir = .:/home/httpd/phpi
set safe_mode on.
Put a file into the directory.  Call it "counter.inc"
make the owner of counter.inc any user and any group.
make a web page with a different user in the same group.

the web page cannot include("counter.inc"); you get a warning: SAFE MODE that uid 1 <> uid 2.

This makes it impossible to have shared php includes across multiple users.

- REQUEST -
Allow some way for SAFE MODE to ignore user matching on a selected directory (or set of directories.)  Or ignore matching for a specific userid/or/groupid on the target files???

Or, let me know what I'm doing wrong???

- Thanks -
Alexander

p.s. PHP rules ;-)
