The open_basedir option does a good job of restricting fopen, include, readfile, etc, but it doesn't stop users from execing standard UNIX commands like cat. You can stop that also to some degree by using the disable_funtions option and disable system,exec,passthru. But I can't seem to find a way to disable the use of the backtick operator (``). http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.apache.php
