You could always use open_basedir() to restrict file system operations.

http://www.php.net/features.safe-mode

That way you can make sure that your users won't be able to access files
outside of their home directory, but not forcing them to rewrite their
scripts because of a chroot().

However, this has been removed in PHP 6...
