Log: - Bug #51629, 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
