## #4632 — Tvrtko Ursulin — 2003-10-01T08:34:40+00:00

Hello,

I see that in 4.3.4RC1 this bug is fixed. Can someone please give me a hint
where to find the patch only for that one?

I investigated a little because some time ago I made a patch that solves the
following problem.

Explanation:

When open_basedir is in effect the following operation fails because of
open_basedir restriction which I think is wrong:

fopen("path/exists/file_doesnt","w");

It should not fail, or maybe with EACCESS if appropriate.

So my patch (attached) makes sure that realpath successfully resolves
non-existent paths. It does so by checking errno after realpath call, and
in case it is ENOENT, it ignores the error.

Can anybody comment on this?
