Re: open_basedir clarification

Matt, From the php manual: The restriction specified with open_basedir is actually a prefix, not a directory name. This means that "open_basedir = /dir/incl" also allows access to "/dir/include" and "/dir/incls" if they exist. When you want to restrict access to only the specified directory, end with a slash. For example: "open_basedir = /dir/incl/" php manual link: http://www.zend.com/manual/features.safe-mode.php Tom Dangler >>> "Matt Grimm" <mgrimm@healthtvchannel.org> 01/08/04 07:16PM >>> Can anyone clarify this for me?
