safe_mode on or off

[cybernet]

i have these in a php file

ini_set("memory_limit", "-1");

set_time_limit(0);

 

if safe_mode is on i will get an error in the header

 

what i'm trying to do is to skip these setting when safe_mode is on

what i saw on php.net is this

<?php
// Check for safe mode
if( ini_get('safe_mode') ){
    // Do it the safe mode way
}else{
    // Do it the regular way
}

?>

but this post is since 2004, can i use the above code in php5.3.2 ?

From what i've read, most programmers recommend leaving safe mode off for security reasons :: one resource - "wicked cool php" (book)

some of the host providers think they can be hacked with shell

and they set safe_mode = 1 ....

 

Try and see.

is it safe ?

What could be not safe in testing this code snippet?

it's not about testing, it's about long term use
