1 >> I confirm: open_basedir does not act as prefix

I experience the same problem with an earlier version: PHP 5.3.2 (API
20090626) on 32-bit Ubuntu 10.04.

2 >> A new case: open_basedir ending with a slash blocks PHP

Another problem with the same config option is: path ending with a slash
practically blocks PHP in an annoying way. With open_basedir set to
"/var/www/" it is expected to be able to serve files from this
directory, but it doesn't work. This is not only different from the
docs, this is nonsense. It's the behaviour that should be changed, not
only the docs. So please change the bug status.
This excerpt from errorlog documents this absurd:

PHP Warning:  Unknown: open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/var/
www/bits.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/var/www/) in Unknown
on line 0

Docs need to be updated but that won't change.

#53597 is definitely *not* a duplicate of #53577, please change status

open_basedir as of 5.3.4 (and 5.3.5 as well) no longer allows to specify
directory prefixes, in contradiction to the documentation

e.g., setting
  open_basedir = /u/phpMyAdmin
should accept files in /u/phpMyAdmin-3.3.8.1-all-languages, but does not
