Test Server PHP Safe Mode?

Post by Barons »

I just installed XAMPP and i'm looking at the security window. I've got everthing to say secure except for php. Its not very clear as to what I should do to fix it.
PHP is NOT running in "safe mode" UNSECURE
If do you want to offer PHP executions for outside persons, please think about a "safe mode" configuration. But for standalone developer we recommend NOT the "safe mode" configuration because some important functions will not working then. More Info
When I click on more info it takes me to this page. http://us2.php.net/features.safe-mode

This is day one for me learning php so I have no idea what any of this is talking about. Is it telling me that right now i'm running php in safe mode and that I need to stop doing that? I'm just trying to make sure my test server is secure.

Thanks.

I guess that you have installed php on your own computer, rather than on a server which is accessible on the internet. If that is the case, there really is no need for "safe mode". "Safe mode" is deprecated in the latest versions of php.
