include_path and safe_mode in virtualhost

Hello, I have a didecated server (linux redhat + apache 1.31.x and PHP 4.3.x). I'd like for a specific virualhost, set the include_path and safe_mode To do that, I did : <Virtualhost> ..... php_admin_value safe_mode on php_admin_value include_path ".:/design:/home:/manager:/login:/style" </Virtualhost> Then I make 2 tests with a test.php page placed on this server. 1. I try in a test page, include an HTML file. This file is on another server. I have in the test page <?php include("www.other-server.com/myfile.html ?>. In the myfile.html there is only the text "MY TEST". When I call test.php, I see "MY TEST". It's not normal I thing because I include a file from outside the include_path. Do you have an idea what's happen ? 2. I do an another include but this time from a local file (/etc/my.cnf, it's the configuration file for MySQL, the owner is root) With php_admin_value values in the virtual host, impossible to include even if I specify the path of this file in the include_path. Is it normal ? For me the most important point is the first, why is it still possible ton include a remote file? Regards, Christian,
