BTW, I did a research on PHP security a while back and ended up providing a 
php.ini.paranoid configuration file in php4 (see #274374). You might want 
to add these to your bookmarks:

http://phpsec.org/ (PHP Security Consortium site)
http://www.php.net/features.safe-mode (Safe mode features of PHP)
http://shiflett.org/archive/81 (Chris Shiflett's talks on PHP security)
http://www.phpsecure.info/ (PHP secruity site)

This is the list of functions that I disabled in the PHP paranoid 
configuration: 

disable_functions = dl, phpinfo, system, mail, include, shell_exec, exec, 
escapeshellarg, escapeshellcmd, passthru, proc_close, proc_open, 
proc_get_status, proc_nice, proc_open, proc_terminate, popen, pclose, 
chown, disk_free_space, disk_total_space, diskfreespace, fileinode, 
max_execution_time, set_time_limit,highlight_file, show_source

If you are going to start an effort on auditing PHP applications you might 
want to talk to Chris Shiflett (shiflett AT php.net), who is an active 
member of the OWASP project (as I am) and has been spearheading some of the 
efforts in improving the security of PHP projects out there.
