#21975 [NEW]: document safe_mode/open_basedir gotchas

From: philip@cornado.com Operating system: all PHP version: 4.3.0 PHP Bug Type: Documentation problem Bug description: document safe_mode/open_basedir gotchas This bug report is where we list quirks, concerns, BC breaks, uses, and general gotchas that stem from either safe mode or open_basedir. Information that everyone from sysadmin's to newbie users should know. For example, a potential safe_mode gotcha: - As of PHP 4.3.0, the PHP_AUTH_* variables are NOT available in PHP when both an external auth mechanism exists and PHP is in safe mode. Note: REMOTE_USER is available regardless. There are others that belong in this bug report and eventually in the docs. Regarding open_basedir, there is a recent (4.3.0) PHP change regarding both upload_dir and include_path but I'm not sure what they are exactly ... hopefully this bug report will know soon ;) And there are others. open_basedir and safe mode are documented here: - phpdoc/{lang}/features/safe-mode.xml -- Edit bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21975&edit=1 -- Try a CVS snapshot: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=trysnapshot Fixed in CVS: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=fixedcvs Fixed in release: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=alreadyfixed Need backtrace: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=needtrace Try newer version: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=oldversion Not developer issue: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=support Expected behavior: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=notwrong Not enough info: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=notenoughinfo Submitted twice: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=submittedtwice register_globals: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=globals PHP 3 support discontinued: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=php3 Daylight Savings: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=dst IIS Stability: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=isapi Install GNU Sed: http://bugs.php.net/fix.php?id=21975&r=gnused
