I, too, have noticed this same problem. Correct me if I'm wrong, but shouldn't PHP running under safe_mode create directories and files to be owned by the same owner as the currently-running PHP script? If my webserver runs as user 'apache', but safe_mode is enabled, and a script owned by user 'joel' creates a directory in my home directory, the directory is still owned by 'apache', rather than 'joel'. This seems to be misbehavior, since, as Kai pointed out, creating files within that directory won't work, since the safe_mode user ('joel') doesn't have permissions to create files in a directory owned by user 'apache', even though joel just created the directory with PHP! Any help on how to get around this, or fix it? -- [ joel boonstra | jboonstra@gospelcom.net ]
