Safe mode

Discussions of secure PHP coding. Security in software is important, so don't be afraid to ask. And when answering: be anal. Nitpick. No security vulnerability is too small.

Safe mode

Post by abalfazl »

Hello firends

From Zend PHP study guide: (page 181)

safe mode can help prevent people from causually browsing the entire filesystem using a specially crafted PHP script,
But it unfortunately cannot address situatuons in which other languages are used to achieve the same.

May someone explain about the last statement:

"cannot address situatuons in which other languages are used to achieve the

same."


Thanks in advance
GOOD LUCK!

It means, for example, if your webhost also offers perl, they could use perl to get around the restrictions instead of php.
