safe_mode problem???

[roteee]

I try to create dir and sub-dir on the fly. My code is:

<?php
    $documentRoot = "my_docs_root_path";

if(!is_dir($documentRoot."/dir1"))
{
    mkdir($documentRoot."/dir1", 0777);
}
if(!is_dir($documentRoot."/dir1/subdir1"))
{
    mkdir($documentRoot."/dir1/subdir1", 0777);
}
?>

And the result is:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is user1_pid/user1_gid is not allowed to access my_docs_root_path/dir1 owned by uid/gid nobody_uid/nobody_gid in test.php on line 10

I understood what's happening. I can make a new dir under my path but the owner of the new dir is web user. After this, when I try to make the sub-dir in this, I have no permission!!
Do I right?

But.... how can I solve this?? How can I make the subdir1 under the web user dir??

Thanks,

What OS do u have on your server, cause if is windows the:

Mode is ignored on Windows, and became optional in PHP 4.2.0.

Anyway, u should use chmod to channge you directory mode after u create it.

I'm using :
OS : Linux node3.c17 2.6.11-1.1369_FC4smp #1
PHP Version : PHP Version 5.1.4

I have tried but still problem.

How can I disable this???

<?php
    if(!is_dir($documentRoot."/dir1"))
    {
        mkdir($documentRoot."/dir1", 0777);
        chmod($documentRoot."/dir1", 0777);
    }
    if(!is_dir($documentRoot."/dir1/subdir1"))
    {
        mkdir($documentRoot."/dir1/subdir1", 0777);
        chmod($documentRoot."/dir1/subdir1", 0777);
    }
?>

Result:

Warning: mkdir() [function.mkdir]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The script whose uid/gid is 15538/15538 is not allowed to access my_docs_root_path/dir1 owned by uid/gid 99/99 in test.php on line 11

Just use Error Control Operators ...

safe_mode is generally silly and will restrict things a lot. I recommend that you add any data directories to safe_mode_include_dir which will allow your application to access them.

The problem with safe mode is that applications are generally not allowed to access directories created by themselves. The only work-arounds are to either not create directories, or add those locations to safe_mode_include_dir.

Basically it sucks pretty badly, which is why in PHP6 safe_mode may be removed.
