The classic way to work around a "safe mode" is to create your php files
dynamically instead of uploading them. I.e. you upload one single
"unroll" script that generates all worker scripts and saves them to
files. Since those generated scripts are owned by apache, they won't
have any trouble accessing files that they create.
