Some of these can't be set unless you've got root access. These are system variables that applies to the server's PHP configuration and makes it vulnerable if changed. You can try to change all of them to see what server settings there are. Create a php-file and paste the following:

<?php
ini_set('sendmail_path', '/usr/sbin/sendmail -t -i -f [email protected]');
ini_set('safe_mode','0');
ini_set('open_basedir','0');
ini_set('register_globals','0');
?>

GD and FFMPEG must be installed on the server and activated by sysadmin to make it work. These libraries can be downloaded here:

FFMPEG-PHP
GD


GD is usually installed on almost every PHP-system, and you can check the status on your system by using this code:

<?php
print_r(gd_info());
?>

Will not work. These can only be changed in the server's php.ini file.

Probably not, but still worth a shot. They're PHP_INI_SYSTEM-files and shouldn't be able to change this way, though I've seen systems where virtual host-settings allow overriding these variables (found in a user copy of php.ini).
Still, it's a long shot

maybe you can just explain this to your web host hlpdesk service. they are used to solve these things quickly.
