How to Enable PHP function for a one account ?
IF you disable PHP function in php.ini file and if you want to enable any particular function only one account .Then You can however use suhosin to enable a function for one domain only.
How can you do that ?
After installing suhosin, remove all functions from disable_functions in php.ini and add in php.ini suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = “exec,passthru,shell_exec” and all the functions that you want to disable globally.
After that for each domain in the virtual host section you can add suhosin.executor.func.blacklist again but without the function that you need to enable. And so you will enable that function only for one domain.
Example:
<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1> ……….. ……….. <IfModule mod_php4.c> php_admin_value open_basedir “/usr/lib/php” </IfModule> <IfModule mod_php5.c> php_admin_value open_basedir “/usr/lib/php” php_admin_value suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = “passthru,shell_exec” </IfModule> ……. …… </VirtualHost>
In this example exec has been enabled for the VirtualHost. This way it will be better as you do not neet to modify all the virtual hosts only the ones that you need to enable one or more functions.

This wont work if you have suphp as you cant use php_admin_value
is there a solution to that?
Nice fill someone in on and this fill someone in on helped me alot in my college assignement. Say thank you you on your information.
This sounds good if someone can figure out how to make it work with SuPHP. Did anyone figure that out yet?

Hello Jerry,
In PHP suphp environment you will have to create copy the system php.in under that particular client document root. then search disable_functions option in php.ini file and add php function which you want to disable it for particular account.
here example
but i want to prevent custom php.ini in suphp ( add line suPHP_ConfigPath /usr/local/lib/php.ini in /usr/local/apache/conf/php.conf )
so use php.ini in client document root to enable function is not imposible
any solution in suphp ?
If you don’t mind verify that you have introduced suhosin in your server. To empower the php method for a lone record suhosin should be commissioned on the server.
