Probably you have not understood a problem, if is used open_basedir or safe_mode you have no any possibility to read a file until you move it in directory which you may read it. If to you interests only his contents and you do not need to keep this file it is necessary to do many superfluous movements for this purpose. Personally I do not have with it problems, but many others people have such problems.
