What role does the safe_mode setting in PHP play in changing folder permissions dynamically during runtime?

The safe_mode setting in PHP restricts the ability to change folder permissions dynamically during runtime for security reasons. To work around this limitation, you can use the PHP function chmod() to change folder permissions before safe_mode is activated. 

// Check if safe_mode is enabled
if (ini_get('safe_mode')) {
    // Change folder permissions using chmod()
    chmod('/path/to/folder', 0755);
}
