Noone can anwer?Noone thinks at this problem?....what will we do when ours web hostings will switch to php6?
Safe_mode won't be avaliable and if it won't be possible to change owner of the EZ installation folder (because of the shared web hosting)we'll have to switch to a dedicated server which is more and more expensive .Someone told me to change cms but I can't think ezPublish should be abandon for such a small metter .
Hope someone wants to take care of this urgent issue .
Regarding PHP6, since the language isn't finalized, we won't work on supporting it, as things may still change.
About safe_mode, it is widely accepted that it is was a bad approach to securing a platform, and will go away with PHP6 (if i remember correctly). We don't support it, and most likely won't in the near future, sorry. You should show your hosting company the homepage for safe_mode on php.net: http://php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php. It very clearly says that safe_mode is deprecated in PHP 5.3, and will be removed with PHP6.
So there is in the end no problem: when your company switches to PHP6, there will be no safe mode, and you'll be fine :-)
