#21975 [Com]: document safe_mode/open_basedir gotchas

ID: 21975 Comment by: moron at industrial dot org Reported By: philip at cornado dot com Status: Open Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating System: all PHP Version: 4.3.0 New Comment: It appears that move_uploaded_file() is either broken with 4.3.1 or its behaviour radically changed under safe_mode. All of a sudden file uploads are now failing with "open_basedir" restriction errors (kind of defeating the purpose of move_uploaded_file IMHO). Some clarification on this issue would be definitely appreciated. Cheers Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2003-01-30 21:41:45] philip at cornado dot com 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 this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/?id=21975&edit=1
