RE: [PHP-DEV] Location in php's source for ini-values

====== = I've run into the same thing in the past, ended up moving to virtual machines in order = to circumvent ... BUT ... I found something which can apparently work in this particular = case. have a google for 'mod_macro' ... from what I read it will do what you want and it'll = save you having to hack the php source. = => well, I know about mod_macro - and also have it in use, but it doesn't really help, since it => does not solve the problems I've got here. = = funny, a chap in the forum on the following URL states that he is using mod_macro to do exactly = what you want (afaict) namely set open_basedir on a per request basis in a dynamic vhost: = = http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7863 = => I require mod_vhost because I've got several = = if the above url is not telling the truth then maybe an alternative is mod_vhs: = = http://www.oav.net/projects/mod_vhs/ = = I don't know it personally but a quick scouring of the page reveals some php specific stuff = for setting per request ini settings, mod_vhs itself being, it seems, an alternative to mod_vhost = => thousand vhosts in my config, which slow down apache everytime it reloads it's configuration, => which is required about 3 times every hour since the configuration changes in this period. => So mod_vhost can solve that problem, because in my case no apache-reload is required => then. This reload makes the server unreachable for about 1-2 minutes, that's just way too => much downtime - 3 times a hour.. ====== hello, those modifications mentioned here http://www.apachelounge.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=7863 didn't really help, i tried to implement them before, but php just ignored them. i also tried mod_vhs, it's just that it's not supported any more (at least, it seems so) and it's also pretty "old" (2005) and requires LDAP as far as I figured out. @ Steph, ============== = I tried to make some modifikations in main.c, everything seemed to = work pretty fine, but I was unalbe to complete that work (I must admit, = I'm not such a c-expert, I'm just programing simple stuff sometimes) ============== = That makes two of us, but I'm not sure what you mean when you say you were = unable to complete that work? well, I managed to modify stuff like STD_PHP_INI_ENTRY("open_basedir", "the_path_you_want", PHP_INI_SYSTEM, NULL, open_basedir, php_core_globals, core_globals) .. but "the_path_you_want" can only be a constant. In my case i wrote a function which returns the correct value for the vhost (which is dynamically set) and what i did not manage to do is to insert that return-value at the place where that constant ("the_path_you_want") is expected. however, these efforts seem to be wortless, since php processes these values only during startup - and not per request (this is, what i need). = = However what you're now saying is you want to set a variable value = per-request, which is a whole different story. In PHP 6 open_basedir is = INI_ALL but up to there it's INI_SYSTEM, i.e. it's only set during startup. = PHP 6 uses 'OnUpdateBaseDir', which allows open_basedir to be set at runtime = so long as it's more restrictive than the initial open_basedir setting. If = we're very lucky we might see that change in 5.3.0 too :) Some guy in an IRC-channel told me that OpenBaseDir will be removed in PHP6, I guess he was mistaken? however, when can I expect a stable release for 5.3.0? I'd like to try to use it, but I really require stable software since thousands of websites depend on it - and on the fact that the parser must not fail, meaning that it returns unparsed php-code as text, visible to each website-visitor. = Well, that manual page is generated from source, so I guess you're talking = about Jani's changes - and no, that's undocumented, so it's a case of = grepping the source @ present. So I *could* try to figure out how this works using php 5.3, if I can expect that it doesn't work too unstable...
