Description Sami Sieranoja 2006-03-31 02:53:30 UTC 
includes/Image.php uses the shell_exec -function resize images, which doesn't
work if safe-mode is on. I replaced this with exec, and resizing images started
to work. (convert -command is in safe_mode_exec_dir)
Comment 1 Brion Vibber 2006-03-31 03:14:00 UTC 
We've explored this kind of thing before. The problem is just that safe_mode is inherently broken; exec()'s behavior is 
different under safe_mode and becomes very unreliable:

"With safe mode enabled, the command string is escaped with escapeshellcmd(). Thus, echo y | echo x becomes echo y 
\| echo x."

This will of course bork up the properly-escaped shell commands, so various filenames would stop working.

PHP 6 is removing the broken safe_mode option, so keep in mind it's unsupported.
