To do that you first need to know where your php.ini file
is. Just create a simple page called phpinfo.php4 with the following
contents:
<?
phpinfo ();
?>

It will execute the phpinfo function and give you a LOT
of information. Including the location of the php.ini file.
You need to go to http://www.php.net/ to read the documentation on that.

If you are not running your own private webserver, but are
being hosted. Is is most likely your provider as turned on
SAFE MODE as a security step. You can check with them to see if
they can turn it off (although it is usually a system wide setting).

Hope this helps.

You should contact your ISP and ask for SSH access of shell access. IF you are on a shared server.
If they are cool they will goive you a root name and a password to login and adjust the php.ini file

You should have an understanding of UNIX/LINX commands also know how to use the vi editor. There
are many tutorials that will get you started.

Also you will need a SSH tool like putty to access the server.

If you have never done this before, you might be better off finding someone to walk you thru the
steps. When you have shell access to you server if you don't know what you are doing to can easily
do major damage. Be careful
