you have safe mode enabled in your server and popen() is sensitive to safe mode..
if the script uses popen() alot, you will have to search for another script or try to contact your host and ask them to disable safe mode.. and I doubt them doing so

I'm not 100% positive, but I believe you can control safe-mode on a directory-by-directory basis through .htaccess files.

I use "php_flag register_globals 0" in an basic .htaccess file to turn off "GLOBALS" when I'm testing to make sure stuff runs under a GLOBALS_OFF setting. I think you can do the same with most PHP settings.

Errr...nope. I just checked (I was going to post some links). Apparently you can't override the safe mode settings in .htaccess. (That makes sense, actually.)

Never mind, lol.

UPDATE:

Well, you can actually do this, but only if you've set some admin params in the PHP configuration file. So it looks like the answer in this case is still 'no'.
