overriding safemode

[sarahk]

I want to use copy() to copy files into multiple folders on the server. My ftp client won't let me so I thought I'd use php.

However the command is_writable() returns false as my host has safemode on. Now that's great because I want the protection but how do I tell it that's it's me and therefore it's ok to copy the file?

thanks in advance!
