It really only makes sense to install CyberCash on an SSL box, no? And an ISP shouldn't be letting you upload arbitrary code to a shared server that's allegedly SSL, since that's inherently insecure, I think. What you *might* be able to do is get them to let you have PHP as suExec'ed CGI binary so you can dl() into that, which runs as your user, so you can only hurt yourself. You'd use a different extension for those PHP-as-CGI pages, and not hurt performance on the other pages. -- Visit the Zend Store at http://www.zend.com/store/ Wanna help me out? Like Music?
