reseller or user php script security?

[young]

can a php script in a reseller or user account make changes to root files or others that don't belong to them?

Hello,

I should hope not. That would be utter chaos :) If a root file has accidently set the permission to 777, yes it would be possible, but 99.99% of root files don't ever use that permission.
