white phosphorus proved to be

These days the head of the safety
match contains only antimony
trisulphide and potassium chlorate.
The rubbing surface has powdered
glass and a little red phosphorus
(which is much less dangerous).
When the match is struck against
the rubbing surface, some red
phosphorus-gets converted into white
phosphorus. This immediately reacts
with potassium chlorate in the
