[php-src] Issue #8402: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect

Issue: https://github.com/php/php-src/issues/8402 Comment Author: cmb69 Like I already said in https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=52065#1621507683, there is no clean and backward compatible way to fix this. The problem is that php_stat() is called by different functions, and for some the open_basedir warning is important, while for others it should be suppressed. The clean way to solve this would be to add a warn parameter to php_stat(), and to forward this to php_check_open_basedir_ex(), but that would break the API of php_stat(). Introducing php_stat_ex() would be possible, but a lot of extension would not call that function, and even for php-src that would require modifications which I wouldn't want to do for any of the stable versions. A global flag might be a viable workaround, but doesn't look like a clean solution.
