hehe sounds a lot like a plain vanilla shared hosting account :-)

one host I deal with will let you do limited system things like
system("ls -l",$ret);
but won't let you do chmod,create or write to a file (unless directory
permissions are set to 757) since php comes in as an other user.

I guess you could always redefine system, fopen and a few other functions so
that they allow url opeing where appropriate but not local files.
and then make it so that the code interface is via php so you control what
gets uploaded and run.

and you can set both timeout and max memory usage in php.ini
