  Hello :) The implications are different for each function. You can search PHP's documentation for each function to see it's purpose. EX: PHP: popen - Manual Thank you.

  These are the security related functions in PHP. Try to disable these functions for this OS Commerce cpanel account or you can disable it globally.

  Lock it down, and see what breaks. You'll be fine: ConfigServer.Com Technical FAQ

  I did in the end. It doesn't appear to have broken anything that I can see.
