safe_mode

Hi gang: Please excuse me for asking another dumb-ass question, but here goes. I'm finding that setting safe_mode to ON is more difficult than I first thought. In my phpinfo, safe_mode is set to OFF However, if I try to set it to ON in my ".htaccess" such as: php_value safe_mode 1 It doesn't work. If I set it in my code, such as: ini_set( 'safe_mode', '1' ); It still doesn't work. From what I've read about ini_set() , it's said that "Just because you're able to set something doesn't mean it will work as expected." Is this one of those things that can't be changed? Or am I doing it wrong? Feel free to hammer me for not knowing. Thanks. tedd -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ http://sperling.com http://ancientstones.com http://earthstones.com
