Hi! I patched safe_mode.c to compare the uid of files not only to the uid of the php-script but also to the uid of the process itself. This allows php-scripts to handle files created by themselves or by the webserver (in my case: apache), for example uploaded files.
i wasn't able to delete or move uploaded files when safe_mode-Restrictions were in affect. Sorry for my stupid english :-) $ diff --unified php-4.1.1/main/safe_mode.c php-4.1.1-rt1/main/safe_mode.c --- php-4.1.1/main/safe_mode.c Sun Aug 5 03:42:44 2001 +++ php-4.1.1-rt1/main/safe_mode.c Fri Jan 11 11:05:29 2002 @@ -89,7 +89,7 @@ } else { uid = sb.st_uid; gid = sb.st_gid; - if (uid == php_getuid()) { + if (uid == php_getuid() || uid == getuid()) { return 1; } else if (PG(safe_mode_gid) && gid == php_getgid()) { return 1; @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ } duid = sb.st_uid; dgid = sb.st_gid; - if (duid == php_getuid()) { + if (duid == php_getuid() || duid == getuid()) { return 1; } else if (PG(safe_mode_gid) && dgid == php_getgid()) { return 1; A php.ini-Directive to change this bevavior would be nice. cu, Roland Tapken -- <========{ [EMAIL PROTECTED] }========> /"\ \ / ASCII ribbon campaign X against HTML mail / \ and postings <========={ ICQ#: 18715473 }=========> -- PHP Development Mailing List <http://www.php.net/> To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
