Subject: open_basedir too strict
From: prlw1@newn.cam.ac.uk (Patrick Welche)

This may be a user error rather than an internals.. In php.ini I have

safe_mode = Off   
;open_basedir =
;include_path = ".:/php/includes"

among other things, yet with cvs PHP_4_3 code from May 16 13:48, I get:

[client 127.0.0.1] PHP Warning:  main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(../functions/strings.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (.:/usr/local/lib/php) in /usr/src/local/squirrelmail/src/login.php on line 19


I just made main/fopen_wrappers.c:php_check_open_basedir() return 0 always
to get around it..
I was under the impression that with open_basedir commented out, it would
be NULL and therefore not "be in effect", otherwise how could you turn it
off?

Cheers,
