Absolutely true. But when I saw it on the php.net site at first, I didn't
see it as the one I was looking for. I guess when looking to hard, you miss
the obvious. ;-)

I don't know if this is an Apache (httpd) or a PHP issue (I suspect
PHP, but I may be doing something wrong with mod_suexec), so I hope
this is the right place to ask. I certainly appreciate any help anyone
can offer!
I am trying to get a PHP script to read a file that's outside the
DocumentRoot of a VirtualHost, in fact well outside the parent
directory of all of my virtual hosts.
I have successfully managed to get Apache httpd to run the script as
the correct user and group (matching the target file's ownership)
using SuexecUserGroup. I tested this by having the script create/write
a test file, which had owner and group set correctly.
However, when I run the script, at the file("/path/to/target/file")
command, PHP tells me it can't open the file - permission is denied.
In php.ini safe_mode is off and open_basedir is not set.
I am not sure where else to look for a solution - any help is very
much appreciated!
FYI: PHP 5.2.6, Apache httpd 2.2.11, mod_ssl/2.2.11, OpenSSL/0.9.7l on
Mac OS/X 10.5.5. I'm reaching the script over an SSL (https)
connection if that matters).
Thanks!
