The simplest way to get around "safe mode" is to change the owner of
main script to www or whatever user your apache runs as. Create a file
"generate.php" with something like
<?php file_put_contents('index.php',
<<<EOF
main script goes here...
EOF
);
upload "generate.php" and run it once. You'll get "index.php" owner by
"www", so it will have full access to other www's files.
