    Well, Gossi,
    
    I agree with your standpoint. Some "project leaders"
    easily turn into "project defenders" when one takes
    a closer look at their project. .o)
    
    
    So the advice for any server with "Invision Board" installed 
    is to disable phpinfo() in the php startup file in addition
    to setting safe-mode = On and perhaps specifying a special 
    safe_mode_exec_dir.
    
    
    - -- see /etc/php.ini --
    
    ; This directive allows you to disable certain functions for security reasons.
    ; It receives a comma-deliminated list of function names.  This directive is
    ; *NOT* affected by whether Safe Mode is turned On or Off.
    disable_functions = phpinfo
