    * disable_functions feature in .htaccess?

    I was wondering if anyone knew how to disable phpMail() (SendMail), fsockopen(), and things such as that with htaccess? Sorry If I posted this in the wrong place but I have searched google and found nothing. Also how can I maybe force ads with htaccess? And is there a way to also re-enable those features in a certain directory(s)? Thank you.

    If you're looking to make these changes system-wide, you're going to need access to httpd.conf

    If you are hosting users and want to edit their .htaccess to make these changes...that's just a bad idea because they can go right in and undo the changes that you've made to the file.

    Yes I know that they could access it and change it but I am going to be hosting scripts, like phpBB, SMF, PHP Fusion and wont give them access via FTP or file manager. So they wouldnt be able to touch the .htaccess

    Not sure what I was thinking when I wrote that previous post...it's been a long day...

    If you're in a shared environment, and don't have root access to the server, you will have an extremely difficult (if not impossible) time disabling these features...

    I do not think that someone on a shared hosting plan can open a forum hosting service (since the service itself needs admin controls).

    Make empty php.ini file, place the following in it:
    disable_functions = proc_open , popen, disk_free_space, diskfreespace, set_time_limit, leak, tmpfile, exec, system, shell_exec, passthru, fsockopen, phpMail , etc.

    and place it in your working directory (or wherever the files you want to block are)
    I hope I helped

    cheers
