  You can bypass this by installing a local copy of PHP under your home
directory, and invoking it as a CGI program, rather then an embedded Apache
module.

  Sure.  Heck, why not just run the web server as "root", and with a blank
password, while you're at it?  Why bother with security, it just gets in the
way....
