Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #3697 Updated: open_basedir prevents creating files with fopen

> DJM reports that problem is fixed. However, he suggests that there is a bette r solution to the problem than was implemented. See message below. Sort of; I'll explain. The solution that was implemented is fine; I had just chosen to extend the semantics to cover an additional case. In the check for whether the file is writable, if it doesn't exist, I checked instead whether the file could probably (no guarantee--not atomic) be created. That's not strictly necessary, though. But my wish for error messages in other failure cases, which would have made it easier to debug this problem, does remain. I provided some in my original patch.
