What are some alternative methods to bypass Safe Mode restrictions in PHP?

Safe Mode in PHP restricts certain functions for security reasons. To bypass Safe Mode restrictions, you can use alternative functions or methods that achieve the same result without triggering the restrictions. For example, instead of using `exec()` which is disabled in Safe Mode, you can use `shell_exec()`.

// Bypass Safe Mode restrictions by using shell_exec() instead of exec()
$output = shell_exec('ls -la');
echo "<pre>$output</pre>";
