Sorry, I wrote that in a hurry.
ANY file open operation performed by php has to be in open_basedir. ( Including your main script. )
This is actually by design.

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"'.

This is not a bug, include calls a file open operation,
and as such must be in the open_basedir path

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.
