hi folks, I just realised that open_basedir also prevents the access to /tmp. Thus, file uploads aren't possible. One solution would be, to use a tmp directory within open_basedir, to give PHP the required write access. But assume you're using a server with multiple VirtualHosts and www-dirs. You use open_basedir to limit the access of every script running in a specific VirtualHost/www-dir to its proper www-dir. Now you would have to create a .../tmp directory for each single www-dir, which is not very pretty. Would it be possible to limit access to open_basedir without the exception of /tmp, to allow the uploads? /dorgon
