Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2007-05-24 15:55:54] bugs dot php dot net at chsc dot dk Description: ------------ file_exists() etc. does not allow checking the existence of files outside the directories specified in open_basedir. Appearently readfile() does *not* have this restriction and thus allows checking the existence of files anywhere in the filesystem. If realpath($filename) returns a string (i.e. not false), the file exists. This is a circumvention of the open_basedir restriction in file_exists() etc. Reproduce code: --------------- The following should always be true, but it isn't when $dir is outside the directories specified in open_basedir: var_dump(file_exists($dir) === (bool) realpath($dir)); ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=41492&edit=1
