PHP provides for this directly.

There is a restrict_base_dir setting that can be applied to each virtual host that prevents users from accessing anything outside of the specified directory tree.

Correct, everybody should be using this in a shared hosting environment, and also to tighten the reins furher should use disable_functions

The one I use and has given us no complaints except for some lame program that wants to know the system uptime stats, which has nothing to do with a user anyway, even if it only wants it for the load, again, nothing to do with user, if the load gets high (above 5 on 15 min avge) we have alarms to let us know.

disable_functions = exec, shell_exec, system, virtual, show_source, readfile, passthru, escapeshellcmd, popen, pclose, phpinfo
