Doc #53687 [NEW]: Use of colon character in open_basedir paths

From: Operating system: linux-2.6 x86_64 PHP version: 5.3.5 Package: Safe Mode/open_basedir Bug Type: Documentation Problem Bug description:Use of colon character in open_basedir paths Description: ------------ Documentation says that on *nix systems open_basedir paths must be separated by colon characters, but it does not say if it is possible and how to include a path containing an actual colon (which is a perfectly valid path on linux, for example). How can I add /foo:bar to open_basedir? Expected result: ---------------- I should be able to know if and how to escape the separator colon, for example with open_basedir = /www\:80:/somewhere_else to add the two directories '/www:80' and'/somewhere_else'. Documentation should tell me I cannot use colons in paths, or tell me how I can use them. (besides, if there isn't any escape possibility it should be added IMHO) Actual result: -------------- Adding a path with a colon inside gets interpreted as two different paths. Official documentation does not help on the matter. -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53687&edit=1 -- Try a snapshot (PHP 5.2): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=trysnapshot52 Try a snapshot (PHP 5.3): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=trysnapshot53 Try a snapshot (trunk): http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=trysnapshottrunk Fixed in SVN: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=fixed Fixed in SVN and need be documented: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=needdocs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=needtrace Need Reproduce Script: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=needscript Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=globals PHP 4 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=php4 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=gnused Floating point limitations: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=float No Zend Extensions: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=nozend MySQL Configuration Error: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=53687&r=mysqlcfg
