SAFE MODE trifling with my include files.

[jeff_borden]

The error:

Warning: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid is 10024 is not allowed to access ./restaurants/15/directions.php owned by uid 0 in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/greenfork.com/httpdocs/directions.php on line 7

The code:

$menulocation = "./restaurants/$r_id/menu.php";

if(file_exists($menulocation))
{
include "./restaurants/$r_id/menu.php";
}

any thoughts on how to fix this? thx for any help offered.

do you have access to the php.ini of the server?
if so, you could look for the line
safe_mode_gid = 0 and switch it to 1.
also you could try: ini_set("safe_mode_gid", "1");

your error shows exactly this error...

another possibility would be to try to do some chmod() on the files you try to include, but this is not nice programming 😉
