safe mode question

Hi: I am running PHP 4.3.10 (cli) (built: Dec 11 2005 17:38:29) on SuSe 9.3 - and am having some problems getting some scripts running. php was compiled (by Suse) with: Configure Command => './configure' '--prefix=/usr' '--datadir=/usr/share/php' '--mandir=/usr/share/man' '--bindir=/usr/bin' '--libdir=/usr/share' '--includedir=/usr/include' '--sysconfdir=/etc' '--with-_lib=lib' '--with-config-file-path=/etc' '--with-exec-dir=/usr/lib/php/bin' '--disable-debug' '--enable-inline-optimization' '--enable-memory-limit' '--enable-magic-quotes' '--enable-safe-mode' '--enable-sigchild' '--disable-ctype' '--disable-session' '--without-mysql' '--disable-cli' '--without-pear' '--with-openssl' '--enable-force-cgi-redirect' '--enable-discard-path' '--enable-cli' '--with-pear' 'i586-suse-linux' (unrelated question - why have --enable-cli and --disable-cli?) And I have safe mode off in php.ini, safe_mode = Off which is verified by a phpinfo(); safe_mode => Off => Off However, the script should run from a cvs commit (the CVSROOT/logginfo # BEGIN added by gforge-plugin-cvstracker ALL ( php -q -d include_path=.:/opt/gforge/gforge:/opt/gforge/gforge/www/include:/etc/gforge /opt/gforge/gforge/plugins//cvstracker/bin/post.php %r %p %{sVv} ) # END added by gforge-plugin-cvstracker And in /opt/gforge/gforge/plugins//cvstracker/bin/post.php, the code: echo "safemode "; echo ini_get('safe_mode'); Displays : "safemode 1" I have tried the same thing from the command line, and the only way I can make it the same, is to add the "-n" flag. Any thoughts or pointers? Thanks -Robin
