When safe_mode is set to On, it is impossible to pass a variable that contains a
string with a space in it as an argument to any system() like function. The following
script shows the problem:
<?
$somevar = "this is a test";
exec("echo.sh $somevar", $return);
echo $return[0];
?>
echo.sh being a simple shell script that echoes back anything that we feed it. The
following PHP script will display 'this' instead of 'this is a test'. I tried
backslashing every chars of the variable by writing a simple function but spaces seems
not to be correctly passed to the shell script. The same script executed when
safe_mode is set to off works perfectly...
