There is a way of configuring PHP to limit access to the file system. You don't want any schmuck who uploads a PHP script access to your entire system, right? PHP allows you to limit what parts of the system can be seen. My question is how is this done?

What do you mean, "limit access to the file system"? You mean to the web-accessible directories, or to the whole server? And limit how? All PHP does is run scripts. Do you mean PHP limiting its scripts' access to different areas of the server when using file-related functions? PHP doesn't give users any kind of access to the file system besides as an interface through functions that a script might call. -Mike
