From:             
Operating system: N/A
PHP version:      5.3.2
Package:          Safe Mode/open_basedir
Bug Type:         Feature/Change Request
Bug description:CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION error message is misleading

Description:
------------
The following error message is semantically wrong (and for the "newbies"
that 

aren't familiar with PHP, very misleading/confusing):



Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION can
not be 

activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in <file> on line
<line>



>From a purely grammatical standpoint, that error message is saying that one
of 

the following conditions caused the error: either you're in safe_mode, or
an 

open_basedir option was set in <file>. The "in <file> on line <line>" that


directly follows the open_basedir bit makes it sound like one should look
for 

something dealing with "open_basedir" in <file> in order to resolve the
error 

(assuming they aren't in safe mode).



This situation actually happened on a PHP support community I'm a member
of. I 

only mention this to show that I'm not simply quibbling over
semantics/grammar 

but rather trying to clarify a misleading error message.

Test script:
---------------
<?php

ini_set('open_basedir', '/'); // for testing purposes



$ch = curl_init();

curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1);

Expected result:
----------------
No output.

Actual result:
--------------
PHP Warning:  curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated
when in 

safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in G:\php\test.php on line 6
