Handling files

I used to use : $data[0] = addslashes(fread(fopen($picture1, "r"), filesize($picture1))); to store files from a client machine but now I want to store files from a webstie ie http://servername.com/file.jpg but I can't seem to get the logic for it rite. Can some suggest wht shall I do ? Vishal

The manual says: If instead of safe_mode, you set an open_basedir directory then all file operations will be limited to files under the specified directory. I'm assuming that this should work without making any changes to my php.ini. The manuals example: <Directory /docroot> php_admin_value open_basedir /docroot </Directory> I've got: <Directory /home/www/chris/www>

      php_admin_value open_basedir /home/www/chris/www

</Directory> Like I said originally, I must be doing something wrong. "php_admin_value" isn't suppose to be set to something is it? I'm also surprised that (apperantly) nothing has to be changed in the .ini. This is inbetween <VirutalHost> and </VirutalHost>, and I'm testing that it does/doesn't work by reading out my /etc/passwd. That directory does exist, and is the www root for the Virtual Host.
