Not sure if it's me you're asking.. but
I had trouble finding the refs as google jacks up searching for those terms
as there are underscores involved
here:
http://us3.php.net/features.safe-mode
and
http://www.php.net/security-note.php
the built in php fns won't get you outside of your base dir on most servers.
you get opnbase errors. those same servers will also most likely stop you
from using exec() to do similar as well.
