phpinfo() and exec() disabled

Is this typical to disable these for security reasons?

Yes, it is common practice to disable these.

I have a client that is running OSCommerce and ClientExec also and both use these commands. Clientexec is not able to run reports without and OSCommerce can't use GZip compression without.

Know of anyway to work around it?

n PHP, there are two easy ways to do this. The first is to add the following to your .htaccess file and let Apache do the rest:

php_flag zlib.output_compression on
php_value zlib.output_compression_level 2

The second is to add the following to the top of your php script file:

ob_start(”ob_gzhandler”);
