It checks php configuration for disabled and enabled functions.

v2.1.
A good configuration would result in this output
Code: 
WOW! HOST IS NOT NOOBISH! READY FOR USE!

A less good configuration would result in this output
Code: 
CONGRATULATIONS!!! YOUR HOS' SCORED 1 - THATS FUCKIN' AWESOME!!!

v2.2.
A good configuration would result in this output
Code: 
Wow! Host is not noobish! Ready for use!

A less good configuration would result in this output
Code: 
Congratulations!!! Your host scored 1, check php.ini if you don't mind!

I advise if you get higher than one to review php.ini closely.
 
Nice script :P
but,
enabling/ disabling few php functions doesn't make the hosting provider a geek / noob ..
there are many more factors which has to be taken into account .
and whats the use of disabling php functions , when people need it..
a good server admin has to give access to those functions and at the same time, he should take care of the effects that the functions may cause. .

*cough* chroot *cough*

If you post here that your host is a nub you will get hackers checking out all sites on the server trying to attach a shell :)

Is this the same test as some php prober scripts? There're VPS benchmark scripts discussed before but don't know if they can test shared hosts.
