I doubt many people will try this without knowing what it does

[Raptile]

What does this tool actually does?

[NewEraCracker]

It checks php configuration for disabled and enabled functions.

v2.1.
A good configuration would result in this output

WOW! HOST IS NOT NOOBISH! READY FOR USE!

A less good configuration would result in this output

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOUR HOS' SCORED 1 - THATS FUCKIN' AWESOME!!!

v2.2.
A good configuration would result in this output

Wow! Host is not noobish! Ready for use!

A less good configuration would result in this output

Congratulations!!! Your host scored 1, check php.ini if you don't mind!

---
I advise if you get higher than one to review php.ini closely.

CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOUR HOS' SCORED 13 - THATS FUCKIN' AWESOME!!!

hehe What's the highest?

[NewEraCracker]

Maximum score is 17

Nice script
but,
enabling/ disabling few php functions doesn't make the hosting provider a geek / noob ..
there are many more factors which has to be taken into account .
and whats the use of disabling php functions , when people need it..
a good server admin has to give access to those functions and at the same time, he should take care of the effects that the functions may cause. .

*cough* chroot *cough*

^^ Good point, there's alot of other factors in consideration. But still, nice script bud.
