Steps to Disable PHP Functions :<\/h2>\n

1. Log in to Control Panel<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

2. Go to CGI<\/strong> and then Scripted Language Support<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

3. Click on PHP Scripting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

4. You can see your php.ini<\/strong> file that gets displayed in a text box at the bottom.<\/p>\n

5. If your editing is disabled then click on Edit<\/strong> to make changes in the php.ini file.<\/p>\n

6. Find the block of codes within your php.ini file as given below :
\n; – Using this directive you can disable certain functions for the security purposes.
\nThis directive receives a comma-delimited list of function names. It is NOT<\/strong> affected by the status of Safe Mode i.e. even if it is On or Off<\/strong>.
\n; http:\/\/php.net\/disable-functions<\/strong>
\ndisable_functions=<\/strong><\/p>\n

7. Immediately after ‘disable_functions=’, write down the functions those you want to disable (for example exec, passthru, popen). Here is a list that you can disable in order to improve security :<\/p>\n

\u2022 exec<\/strong>
\n \u2022 passthru<\/strong>
\n \u2022 shell_exec<\/strong>
\n \u2022 system,<\/strong>
\n \u2022 proc_open<\/strong>
\n \u2022 popen<\/strong>
\n \u2022 curl_exec<\/strong>
\n \u2022 curl_multi_exec<\/strong>
\n \u2022 parse_ini_file<\/strong>
\n \u2022 show_source<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. Now click on Save<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

That’s it.
\nThese are some of the common PHP functions that are disabled usually. Performing this operation using the control panel is very easy.<\/p>\n
