it maybe has to do with your permissions on your photos.php file.

otherwise check the options of the script your using

[afonic]

I *think* these functions are among the disabled ones in safe_mod, so you cannot use them!

PS. Epitelous enas allos Ellinas edw mesa! Pws kai etsi?

It's not the functions that are disabled.
it's the permissions.

see apache runs as httpd/apache/nobody, while your home directory is owned by you.
and safe mode restrics any kind of file operations to the user who owns the proccess. in that case - apache.

In plain english; that script is incompatible with polarhome

re: file permissions
I don't know how to do this on Un*x, but on OpenVMS you can setup an ACL (Access Control List) on files/directories to allow specific users specific capabilities (e.g. allow the Apache user read/write/delete abilities on a file.)

Also on the OpenVMS alpha.polarhome server your public_html directory is set up with such an ACL. Perhaps if you moved your files to a sub-directory of public_html Apache would have access? (comments, please...)

Sorry for my lack of Un*x knowledge

The permissions in UNIX are set by CHMOD function, if you are asking this... I didn't understand...

e.g. full permissions=777
owner-group-user permissions

[DenisF]

Safe mode determines if the file is writable by checking it's owner, which can be set using chown.
however;
1) a regular user can't chown his files to some other user
2) you can't have multiple owners per file

plain english:
unless a chown -R apache:apache /home/*/*/public_html/* is executed by root, safe mode will deny any kind of file operations.
