Description Andrew Nagy 2004-06-01 19:40:08 UTC 
Description of problem:

the default configuration has --enable-safe_mode and the default
php.ini has safe_mode = 0 which is hypocritical.  The problem is that
the "--enable-safe-mode" overrides the safe_mode option in the php.ini
and there is no way to turn off safe mode.

I also did not test this with the default php that comes with the
install, I am using the new php update via yum.
Comment 1 Joe Orton 2004-06-01 20:10:01 UTC 
I can't reproduce this; the configure default is supposed to be
overridden by the /etc/php.ini setting.  Can you attach your
/etc/php.ini and a script which fails?

php-4.3.6-5

Comment 3 Andrew Nagy 2004-06-01 20:24:31 UTC 
I didn't make any changes to the php.ini, I am using the default.

the error was on:
require_once('PEAR.php');

I managed to fix it by changing the owner of everything in the
/usr/share/pear directory to be owned by my group instead of by the
root group.

Since the php.ini has safe_mode = Off, why would I see any safe mode
errors at all?

Oh ... I did change the php.ini to show all errors.
Comment 4 Joe Orton 2004-06-01 20:32:19 UTC 
Still can't reproduce with php-4.3.6-5.  php.ini should be setting
safe_mode to Off by default, and is for me.  What does:

# echo '<? phpinfo() ?>' | php -q  | grep safe_mode

give for you, also:

# rpm -q php
Comment 5 Andrew Nagy 2004-06-02 15:15:55 UTC 
I can't duplicate it anymore.  It seems it must have been a
permissions issue.  The thing that I couldn't figure out is why I was
getting Safe Mode warnings when safe_mode option was off.  Very strange.
