Description:
------------
i would be cool to have a "safe eval" function
for example:
eval($code, $safe=true,$safe_alow,$safe_disalow ,or  $safe_ini_settings);

i do want users to insert some code to use database and simple php
in their free web site to create info boxes and small website components  or php in their site templates. but i want to stay safe.

I'm afraid we'll never go this route again.
You have to manage privileges using your OS utilities, not PHP.
Also, the meaining of "safety" is quite dim in this particular case, so I can't just imagine a function that would be safe _for everyone_ and useable _for everyone_ without having a bunch of arguments or INI options.
