Description:
------------
I use PEAR on my own server and everything is working fine, tho when I upload the app to a shared server (where it should be hosted) I get a message like:

Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in mysql.php on line 239

Some misguided administrator has put ini_set in disable_functions ( well I guess for security reasons ) thus producing the warnings

I just hoped the DB developers were aware of this kind of accidents ( e.g: ini_set disabled for security reasons,..) and developed intermediate solutions..

Test script:
---------------
$dbh = &DB::connect($dsn);

manually replacing DB/mysql.php line 233 to $ini = true;

Expected result:
----------------
no warnings !

Actual result:
--------------
Warning: ini_set() has been disabled for security reasons in mysql.php on line 239
