Bug #16208: open_basedir: does not expand Variables before checking paths

From: php4@Ncc-1701.b.shuttle.DE Operating system: GNU/Linux PHP version: 4.1.2 PHP Bug Type: *Web Server problem Bug description: open_basedir: does not expand Variables before checking paths Constructs like <? require "$DOCUMENT_ROOT/head.php";?> will cause a bogus error "PHP Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in [...]" replacing $DOCUMENT_ROOT with the actual directory name works fine but is braindamaged to use. BTW this may also apply to other options like safe_mode_exec_dir. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=16208&edit=1 -- Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=16208&r=submittedtwice
