It is possible to disable PHP functions via the disable_functions directive in php.ini. However, there is no method of testing, at runtime, whether a given function has been disabled by this means, The common way to detect whether a function has been disabled is to inspect the return value of ini_get('disable_functions'). This is far from optimal, especially if ini_get() itself has been disabled. A function should be introduced which accepts a function name and returns a boolean value stating whether the function has been disabled. Example: if ( ! function_disabled('exec') ) { exec( $command ) } Alternatively, to avoid the double negative, it could be named something like function_enabled() or function_available(). ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=66729&edit=1
