So if the user was smith, it would be like: open_basedir="/home/smith:/tmp:/pearpath" But only for that script. Test script: --------------- <?php # Running as smith # open_basedir="~:/tmp:/pearpath" # All "public" directory's are CHMOD to 777 // Test 1 touch("/tmp/test"); // pass // Test 2 touch("/home/smith/public/test"); // pass // Test 3 touch("/home/john/public/test"); // fail ?> Expected result: ---------------- Test 3 should fail. Actual result: -------------- Test 3 passes. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53796&edit=1
