[Xerte] Propblem exporting zip file (learning object) out of Xerte

Looks like you can block almost anything. Boo.

 

And I'd guess any server admin person would lock this down. I know I
would.

I didn't think you could block a specific function within PHP. It
doesn't actually change php.ini, just overrides it during script
execution. From the PHP Manual:

 

ini_set - Sets the value of a configuration option

Description

string ini_set ( string $varname , string $newvalue )

 

Sets the value of the given configuration option. The configuration
option will keep this new value during the script's execution, and will
be restored at the script's ending.

 

Seems like this is the perfect use for it.

I'm never sure ini_set is allowed?

 

If I ran a server I'd block it?

Pat, what about using ini_set() in archive.php (and any other scripts
that upload files) to override the setting on a script-by-script basis?
