Re: PHP 4.0 Bug #6495: open_basedir has no efect in php.ini

If I'm not wrong,acording to the php manual,php read php.ini at every invocation.Good.Then,again acording the manual when a script tries to open a file the location of file is checked(by php I understand) and if it is outside the directory-tree specified in the open_basedir directive php will refuse to open it.Scuse me but this mechanism don't look to me to depend by the operating system or by the filesystem.So,I think is only about php behavior.If with the same binary under NT open_basedir work and under win95 no is strange but I still look for a logic explanation before blaming the insecure of win95. dexter. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Zeev Suraski" <zeev@zend.com> To: "Rasmus Lerdorf" <rasmus@php.net> Cc: <dexter@deuroconsult.ro>; <php-dev@lists.php.net> Sent: Saturday, September 02, 2000 5:15 AM Subject: Re: [PHP-DEV] PHP 4.0 Bug #6495: open_basedir has no efect in php.ini > I don't blame you, I'm half asleep :) > The same binary is used for both Windows 95, and Windows NT, so the same > problem applies under Windows NT as well.
