Using an out-of-the-box installation, this is true.

However, I achieved this on one of my sites by patching PHP with this.
If you do not have root, there are also ways of doing it using perl and JSP.

Rufo.

oooo coool. but like what filez do i edit, and what should i edit for it to work?

It is a patch file, you use the program 'patch' to apply the changes to the source for PHP, then recompile.
You then need to add a few lines to httpd.conf, as explained in the readme.

Note that you need root on your server to do this.
