That's where you are wrong. Look at the php_checkuid() function in safe_mode.c you will find this code: if (SG(rfc1867_uploaded_files)) { if (zend_hash_exists(SG(rfc1867_uploaded_files), (char *) filename, strlen(filename)+1)) { return 1; } } And for open_basedir sites, the move_uploaded_file() function can be used to move the file into the right directory at which point it can be read. -Rasmus
