Yep, but we're talking about C code, not about SQL queries. I'd of course accept this explanation if it came from PHP devs at bugzilla, but they didn't bother, which made me a bit surprised. And BTW, talking about speed - setting open_basedir is quite common among webhosters, so I think the code suggested in that bugreport will be faster in most cases. -jkt -- cd /local/pub && more beer > /dev/mouth
