Bug #11940 Updated: ill side effect of open_basedir

ID: 11940 User Update by: a.genkin@utoronto.ca Old-Status: Closed Status: Open Bug Type: PHP options/info functions Operating system: Solaris 8/sparc PHP Version: 4.0.6 Description: ill side effect of open_basedir I may be missing something, but there is no include() or any other file-related operation in the sample script that I posted. All it has is 'echo "hello"'. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-06 17:43:40] jason@php.net This is not a bug, include calls a file open operation, and as such must be in the open_basedir path -Jason --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2001-07-06 17:36:45] a.genkin@utoronto.ca safe_mode = On doc_root = /homes/u0/apache open_basedir = "/var/www/htdocs/workathome:/var/www/secure:/var/www/tmp" (/var/www is a symlink for /homes/u0/apache) In such a setting I should be able to execute PHP scripts from any directory under /homes/u0/apache, but not access any files unless they are under one of the directories in open_basedir. However, I cannot place any scripts in, say, /homes/u0/apache/cdf/deadlines/. A minimal file foo.php, saved there, containing only: <?php echo "<html><body>Hello</body></html>"; ?> Results in the script not executed, with the following error messages: [Fri Jul 6 17:24:53 2001] [error] PHP Warning: open_basedir restriction in effect. File is in wrong directory in Unknown on line 0 [Fri Jul 6 17:24:53 2001] [error] PHP Warning: Failed opening '/homes/u0/apache/htdocs/cdf/deadlines/foo.php' for inclusion (include_path='') in Unknown on line 0 open_basedir's documentation says that it should only restrict directories from where a file can be opened by a PHP script. http://www.php.net/manual/en/configuration.php Many thanks, -- Arcady Genkin --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Full Bug description available at: http://bugs.php.net/?id=11940
