Bug description:Dots in folders results in a open_basedir restriction warning

Description:
------------
If you try to access a file within a folder that has a dot, an open_basedir

restriction warning will show up even if the folder is in the allowed paths
list.

Test script:
---------------
<?php
// Set open_basedir allowed paths to /home/example:/usr/lib/php:/tmp

file_exists('/home/example/public_html/myfolder.example/file.php'); // This
results in a open_basedir restriction warning

Expected result:
----------------
No warning should show up and i should be able to access the file normally.

Actual result:
--------------
The test script results in:

PHP Warning:  file_exists() [<a href='function.file-exists'>function.file-
exists</a>]: open_basedir restriction in effect. 
File(/home/example/public_html/myfolder.example/file.php) is not within the

allowed path(s): (/home/example:/usr/lib/php:/tmp) in 
/home/example/public_html/test.php on line 3
