hi. one of my clients whom we host a website for has expressed interest in writing their own php/mySQL applications for their site. i've been looking in to the security implications of offering this service. My concerns are that the client *could* use a php script to access parts of the file system, registry (this is a Win32 environment), or other such things. If you are really concerned about security you should not be in a shared hosting enviorenment. Seconly you may want to switch to a more secure operating system.
