    safe mode / directories

    Hi,

    I created a directory with PHP mkdir (mode 0777). Then I try to
    move_ulpoaded_f ile() to move a file into this directory. I get an error:

    Warning: move_uploaded_f ile(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script
    whose uid is 1999 is not allowed to access
    /home/www/ww4592/html/fs/PHP/Dateien/Bereich_1/NEUER_ORDNER owned by uid 33
    in /home/www/ww4592/html/fs/PHP/File.php on line 57

    The webspace is at a webhost-company, not on my own server. I think I
    understand the restrictions of SAFE MODE, but I do not understand why a
    script has another uid than a directory created by the very same script!

    Is the error above the "normal" bevaviour if SAFE MODE is on?

    If it is: That is a drastic limitation. If I say to a client "I need
    webspace with PHP" and I get that SAFE MODE-stuff would it not be right to
    say that that is no fully working PHP-Webspace? I mean a webspace that does
    not allow a directory to be created and a file moved into it does not really
    support PHP -- it's a joke! Any opinions?

    Thanks and sorry for my maybe bad English,
    Paul Schmidinger

      userid check in safe-mode...

          Ask host to set a more relaxed GID check
