Enabling PHP uploads

[Johann Spies <jspies () sun ac za>]

I would like to hear from the members of this list their opinion about
the safety of enabling php's upload abilities on a webserver with
several clients. 

In the past I have declined requests to do so because it cannot be
done on a per-user-basis as I understand it and because I was
uncertain about the safety of such a setup.

Regards
Johann
