[ILUG-Webdev] safe_mode question

[Dave Burke]

Hi,

I'm testing some code with apache2, the perchild mpm & php-4.3.4, and 
safe_mode turned on.

I was testing a simple script, which is ...

.....
rename ("./moo", "/tmp/crap");
print ("done....");
.....

So, if i touch moo I get the file with the following permissions...

-rw-r--r--    1 daveb    noc             0 Jan 19 12:03 moo


Then I run the script and it ends up moving to /tmp...
daveb at bilbo:~$ ls -la /tmp/crap
-rw-r--r--    1 daveb    noc             0 Jan 19 12:03 /tmp/crap


>From my reading of http://ie.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.functions.php
rename() should 

	"Checks whether the directory in which you are about to operate has the
	same UID (owner) as the script that is being executed."

But on my desktop, root owns /tmp (i've even removed the sticky bit from /tmp, 
but no change).

So, am I doing something wrong? My reading of the documentation says that php 
should barf, because the script is owned by me, but /tmp isn't.


Cheers,
Dave
