Bug #3370: open_basedir does not work as expected

From: guenther.mair@web.by.com Operating system: Freebsd 3.0 PHP version: 3.0.12 PHP Bug Type: Other Bug description: open_basedir does not work as expected first of all you may not use a simple ".." to indicate the parent directory. then, when using something like [open_basedir = .:../x:../y] it will work, but not only for "../x" and "../y" but also for "../z" if you try to give more than 4 parameters (this all running on freebsd 3.0) all your php3.ini settings will be droped and the default settings used. my php3.ini file: --------------------------------------------------------------------- safe_mode = On safe_mode_exec_dir = /nonexistent open_basedir = .:../admin:../php:../php3 upload_tmp_dir = ../tmp ;error_log = syslog ;short_open_tag = on --------------------------------------------------------------------- i saw configuration settings also being reset when short_open_tag was set to on.
