Change register_globals?

It's the fact that the php scripts will run with the ownership and permissions of the vuXXXX user (with mod_php all php were running as apache user and when uploading files with ftp and then changing theese files with php you always have problems (or you chmod to 777 which is not good either).
So, it's security. You even could disable openbase_dir - the user vu2001 cannot see the php files from vu2002 and therefore it should be possible to protect the config files better...

This is a big thing for ISP with moe than a cuple of foreign customers...

It's maybe easier with mod_php - and if it's only you on the machine and maybe you friends then there is no reason why not to go back to mod-php.

And, there is another thing: Since mod-php cannot be used in the mpm-worker of apache you loose some performing advantages of threads which were available since apache2 but not usable because of mod-php...

hope that's it...
