Bug description:  is_readable(), file_exists() have problem with open_basedir

Description:
------------
the function is_readable() and file_exists() report open_basedir
restriction also on files that are inside the open_basedir, showing a
warning on the screen, such as:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction in
effect.
File(/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/skin/equilibrium/css/mozilla/style.css)
is not within the allowed path(s):
(/usr/share/php/:/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/:/tmp/) in
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/cryolibs/core/core.common.php
on line 582

the previous warning tell that file
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/skin/equilibrium/css/mozilla/style.css
is not into the open_basedir, but the dir:
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/ is specified into the open_basedir
statement, so the warning must not be showed.

Investigating more deeply i have noticed that the warning do not happen
for 'all' the files involved with the function file_exists() or
is_readable(), but only for that files that do not exists. Infact,
checking
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/skin/equilibrium/css/mozilla/style.css
the file do not exists, and file_exists() return correctly a FALSE value,
but the warning do not have any meaning (IMHO), maybe have a mean for the
function is_readable(), but not for file_exists() and however, the file is
inside the open_basedir restriction so it is a non sense warning.
