I've made quite a few PHP scripts with a mySQL backbone for my other websites where the server didn't run in safe mode. I do have a client, however, that has a server that does run in safe mode.
I looked in the manual and saw that it restricts a lot of different functions, most of them I don't use in my scripts, or can modify my scripts to work around them. However, I saw in the manual that it restricts all mysql_*() functions. Is this true? Can you not use PHP with mySQL when PHP is in safe mode??
