fopen() in safe mode??

[mattachoo]

In a form, I want to be able to upload a picture from my computer, then using php, automatically resize the picture, then save it to a folder.  I figured out how to do all that on my server, then when I tested it on my clients website, I get this error when I submit the form. 
[code]
Warning: fopen(): SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 506 is not allowed to access / owned by uid 0 in /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/snapshot.class.php on line 99

Warning: fopen(/images/band_pics/TOP.jpg): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/virtual/site3/fst/var/www/html/snapshot.class.php on line 99
Cannot open file (/images/band_pics/TOP.jpg)
[/code]

Is there a way I can turn of this mysterious SAFE MODE.  The folder /images/band_pics/ is chmod 777, I think, so I don't think it is becuase of that. If someone can help me on this one I would be VERY thankful.

looking at you error it's were you put the script.

Well, The script is simply in the root directory.  Here is the phpinfo, if that helps. 
[table]
[tr]
[td]Directive[/td]
[td]Local Value[/td]
[td]Master Value[/td]
[/tr]

[tr]
[td]safe_mode[/td]
[td]On[/td]
[td]Off[/td]
[/tr]

[tr]
[td]safe_mode_exec_dir[/td]
[td]no value[/td]
[td]no value[/td]
[/tr]

[tr]
[td]safe_mode_gid[/td]
[td]Off[/td]
[td]Off[/td]
[/tr]

[tr]
[td]safe_mode_include_dir[/td]
[td]no value[/td]
[td]no value[/td]
[/tr]
[/table]

I am using a class called 'ImageSnapshot' (snapshot.class.php), and the part in the class that uses fopen() is as follows:

[code]
<?
function SaveImageAs($destination) {
//Saves the image to the desination. Returns true if successful, or false with Err specifying the error.
//example: $myimage->SaveImageAs("/docroot/images/newimage.jpg
if ($this->ProcessImage()) {

if (!$handle = fopen($destination, 'w')) {
$this->Err = 'Cannot open file (' . $destination . ')';
return false;
} else {
if (fwrite($handle, $this->InternalImage) === FALSE) {
$this->Err = 'Cannot write to file (' . $destination . ')';
return false;
} else {
return true;
}
fclose($handle);
}
} else {
return false;
}
}
?>
[/code]

ProcessImage() does the storing part of the image here:
[code]
<?
imagecopyresampled($new_photo, $tmp_image,0,0,$source_x,$source_y, $this->Width, $this->Height, $this->Width, $this->Height);
ob_start();
imagejpeg($new_photo,null,$this->Compression);
$this->InternalImage = ob_get_contents();
ob_end_clean();
?>[/code]
It stores the image in $this->InternalImage.

If you need anything else, ask.  Otherwise if anyone knows why it won't let me do this, PLEASE LET ME KNOW!  Thanks!

If anyone knows, I would still appreciate it.  Thanks

Try adding in the beging:
ini_set("safe_mode",0);

Orio.
