-Summary: open_basedir prohibits creating a new file within
allowed path
Reported By: david at dfoerster dot de
Status: Open
Bug Type: Safe Mode/open_basedir
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.2.5
New Comment:
I'm aware, that this bug has been reported before (30188) and is
mentioned in the documentation.
However, documenting the bug doesn't help.
I suggest fixing this bug by treating the creation of files the same as
the creation of directories which works fine.

Description:
------------
When trying to create a new file within a symlinked document root,
open_basedir raises an error allthough the access should be granted.
The error message is obviously wrong:
open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/somepath/somefile) is not
within the allowed path(s): (/somepath)
(Because the file _is_ in the allowed path.)
Reproduce code:
---------------
Create a directory and a symlink to it (both on the same level).
Setup an Apache host with the document root and open_basedir set to the
symlink.
Create a PHP script within the symlink-directory trying to touch a file
in the symlinked directory using the absolute path.
Expected result:
----------------
The file gets created as it's location is within open_basedir
Actual result:
--------------
An error message stating that the file /somesymlinkedpath/file is not
within the allowed path /somesymlinkedpath.
