php safe mode login system?

[gazever]

Hi,

 

I have worked on a login system, but when I have uploaded to my host it doesnt work, after a bit of research I have realised that php safe mode is on,

 

How do I get around this problem if I cannot hold session data.

 

Please could someone point me in the right direction.

 

Thanks

Change host, ask your host to turn safe mode off I know that's obvious but what else is there to do...?

Is that really it, no workarounds?

 

I have thought about apending a get to all links, but that just seems stupid, It is only for a site owner admin so he can update some text file etc, is htaccess an option can this protect a php script and only give acess to an area with a password?

nope use this at the top of your page.

ini_set('safe_mode', 0);

on most servers (obviously security) ini set is DISABLED.

 

wanna know why? so you dont insert your own 50kb php.ini at the top of every page (hey I tried it once, my host didnt notice for a whole year)
