Unfortunately I cannot, at the moment, test this on recent versions of PHP and/or ones without Suhosin installed, but it does replicate perfectly on my PHP- 5.3.15+Suhosin-0.9.33 system. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2013-02-05 11:00:51] luckyluke at softhome dot net I was just giving an example. Anyway I did actually try to escape colons with backslashes, and I re-tried now on PHP 5.3.15, without success. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-25 20:25:48] philip@php.net Can you please test that escaping mechanism? Maybe you could also test it within PATH itself ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2011-01-07 17:51:25] luckyluke at softhome dot net 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 this bug report at https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=53687&edit=1
