 The PHP connector DetectHTML function does no error checking to make sure
 that the file was opened or read correctly.  This causes a cascade of
 errors on systems with the PHP open_basedir set to disallow opening of
 files in the temporary file-upload directory.  See the forums post
 [http://www.fckeditor.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8619].

 In the file 'editor/filemanager/connectors/php/util.php' starting on line
 87 is the DetectHTML function.

 Original:
 {{{
 function DetectHtml( $filePath )
 {
         $fp = fopen( $filePath, 'rb' ) ;
         $chunk = fread( $fp, 1024 ) ;
         fclose( $fp ) ;
 }}}

 With improved error checking, it should be something like this...
 {{{
 function DetectHtml( $filePath )
 {
         $fp = fopen( $filePath, 'rb' ) ;
         if ( $fp !== false )
         {
                 $chunk = fread( $fp, 1024 ) ;
              if ( $chunk === false )
              {
                      $chunk = '';
              }
                fclose( $fp ) ;
         }
         else
         {
              $chunk = '';
         }
 }}}

 I'm not sure whether it would be better to return TRUE or FALSE in the
 case of being unable to open and/or read the file.  I leave it to the
 security experts to debate that.
