#35544 [Opn->Asn]: pear should ignore safemode/open_basedir

ID: 35544 Updated by: tony2001@php.net Reported By: jdolecek at netbsd dot org -Status: Open +Status: Assigned Bug Type: Feature/Change Request Operating System: NetBSD PHP Version: 5.1.1 -Assigned To: +Assigned To: cellog Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2005-12-04 12:49:17] jdolecek at netbsd dot org Description: ------------ If user sets safemode or open_basedir restriction in their php.ini, they will no longer be able to use pear upgrade etc - the pear call will end with error. NetBSD pkgsrc patches pear.sh to use -n to ignore system php.ini, i.e to exec: exec $PHP -C -q $INCARG -d output_buffering=1 \ -n $INCDIR/pearcmd.php This works as long as pear doesn't need any non-builtin extensions or include path different to the one compiled into the executable. FWIW, we had no problem reports about this causing any problem since the change was introduced (2004/12/12), so this appears to work fine for all NetBSD pkgsrc users. Rather then using -n and ignoring system php.ini completely, it would be great if CLI PHP either ignored the open_basedir/safemode setting implicitely or had a commandline flag to do so (which then would be used in pear.sh/pear.bat). Reproduce code: --------------- Edit php.ini, set open_basedir to /nonexistent. Then run any pear upgrade from commandline: > pear upgrade HTML_Common Expected result: ---------------- downloading HTML_Common-1.2.2.tar ... Starting to download HTML_Common-1.2.2.tar (-1 bytes) ........done: 20,992 bytes upgrade ok: channel://pear.php.net/HTML_Common-1.2.2 Actual result: -------------- Warning: require_once(PEAR.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in pearcmd.php on line 63 PHP Fatal error: require_once(): Failed opening required 'PEAR.php' (include_path='/usr/pkg/lib/php') in /usr/pkg/lib/php/pearcmd.php on line 63 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=35544&edit=1
