Hi gang:
Please excuse me for asking another dumb-ass question, but here goes.
I'm finding that setting safe_mode to ON is more difficult than I
first thought.
In my phpinfo, safe_mode is set to OFF
-snip-
You would think the fine manual would explain this here:
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php
Table 42-1. Security and Safe Mode Configuration Directives
Name: safe_mode
Default: "0"
Changeable: PHP_INI_SYSTEM
but you have to look here
http://us3.php.net/manual/en/ini.php
to find just what PHP_INI_SYSTEM means:
Table G-2. Definition of PHP_INI_* constants
Constant: PHP_INI_SYSTEM
Value: 4
Meaning: Entry can be set in php.ini or httpd.conf
i.e. *not* in .htaccess or by ini_set()
[ Boy, do I dread posting this. ]
Okay, safe_mode cannot be set by .htaccess or by ini_set(). It can
only be set by the php.ini file -- I get it -- thanks.
So, now I'm trying to get my own php.ini file to work.
I reviewed several links, but the easiest I found to understand was:
http://www.washington.edu/computing/web/publishing/php-ini.html
I didn't see any references that disagreed.
So, as I understand it, one procedure to get a custom php.ini file to work is:
1. Get a php.ini templet.
2. Alter as you like.
3. Place it in your working directory.
I did that, and the results can be viewed at:

However, regardless of what my php.ini file states, the directives I
changed remain unchanged.
What other obvious thing am I not seeing?
Thanks.
