ID: 11940 Updated by: jason Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Old-Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Bug Type: *General Issues Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.6 Assigned To: Comments: Sorry, I wrote that in a hurry. ANY file open operation performed by php has to be in open_basedir. ( Including your main script. ) This is actually by design. -Jason Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-06 18:25:15] [EMAIL PROTECTED] I may be missing something, but there is no include() or any other file-related operation in the sample script that I posted. All it has is 'echo "hello"'. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-06 17:43:40] [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is not a bug, include calls a file open operation, and as such must be in the open_basedir path -Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-06 17:36:45] [EMAIL PROTECTED] safe_mode = On doc_root = /homes/u0/apache open_basedir = "/var/www/htdocs/workathome:/var/www/secure:/var/www/tmp" (/var/www is a symlink for /homes/u0/apache) In such a setting I should be able to execute PHP scripts from any directory under /homes/u0/apache, but not access any files unless they are under one of the directories in open_basedir. However, I cannot place any scripts in, say, /homes/u0/apache/cdf/deadlines/. A minimal file foo.php, saved there, containing only: <?php echo "<html><body>Hello</body></html>"; ?> Results in the script not executed, with the following error messages: [Fri Jul 6 17:24:53 2001] [error] PHP Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in Unknown on line 0 [Fri Jul 6 17:24:53 2001] [error] PHP Warning: Failed opening '/homes/u0/apache/htdocs/cdf/deadlines/foo.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in Unknown on line 0 open_basedir's documentation says that it should only restrict directories from where a file can be opened by a PHP script. http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php Many thanks, -- Arcady Genkin --------------------------------------------------------------------------- ATTENTION!
