I don't want to say this again, freaking backup your files before you edit a single letter of your files first, then proceed with the work.

Below are the exact steps to enable a particular PHP function:

1. Remove all functions from disable_functions in php.ini
2. Add functions in php.ini suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = “” those you want to disable globally.

After that in the virtual host section of a domain you can add below code to enable a function only for one domain:

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
………..
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_admin_value suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = “shell_exec”
</IfModule>
……
</VirtualHost>

In this example shell_exec has been enabled for the VirtualHost.

^ i already saw that when googled can u explain more clearly that like i rRemove all functions from disable_functions in php.ini
and leave it blank ''

Add functions in php.ini suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = “” those you want to disable globally.

so in the end of php.ini i add this code
suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = “”

those you want to disable globally.

i dont understand this
and

<VirtualHost 127.0.0.1>
………..
<IfModule mod_php5.c>
php_admin_value suhosin.executor.func.blacklist = “shell_exec”
</IfModule>
……
</VirtualHost>

In this example shell_exec has been enabled for the VirtualHost.

what the heck is the VirtualHost section please explain ?

You should have suhosin installed for this to work.

At your disable_functions line on your php.ini file you should see this:

disable_functions = show_source,system,shell_exec,passthru,exec,phpinfo,proc_open

or something quite similar to that, Replace that line with this:

disable_functions = show_source,system,passthru,phpinfo,proc_open;

After that, restart Apache by executing the following command:

service httpd restart

The virtual host thing is needed only if you want to apply those rules for a single Domain
