Req #51629 [NEW]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION error message is misleading

From: Operating system: N/A PHP version: 5.3.2 Package: Safe Mode/open_basedir Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Bug description:CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION error message is misleading Description: ------------ The following error message is semantically wrong (and for the "newbies" that aren't familiar with PHP, very misleading/confusing): Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION can not be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in <file> on line <line> From a purely grammatical standpoint, that error message is saying that one of the following conditions caused the error: either you're in safe_mode, or an open_basedir option was set in <file>. The "in <file> on line <line>" that directly follows the open_basedir bit makes it sound like one should look for something dealing with "open_basedir" in <file> in order to resolve the error (assuming they aren't in safe mode). This situation actually happened on a PHP support community I'm a member of. I only mention this to show that I'm not simply quibbling over semantics/grammar but rather trying to clarify a misleading error message. Test script: --------------- <?php ini_set('open_basedir', '/'); // for testing purposes $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); Expected result: ---------------- No output. Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in G:\php\test.php on line 6 -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51629&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (PHP 6.0): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=trysnapshot60 Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=51629&r=mysqlcfg
