php safe mode in server

If this returns true, does it mean safe mode is on or off?

if( !ini_开发者_StackOverflow中文版get('safe_mode') ){
    echo 'TRUE';
}  else {
    echo 'FALSE';
}

It echoes FALSE if safe mode is on, however, safe mode is deprecated as of PHP 5.3

Echoes true if ini_get('safe_mode') is false so this piece of code echoes the opposite of the safe mode state.

A bit off topic, but try var_dump(ini_get('safe_mode')) next time...
