note 29584 added to features.safe-mode

safe_mode_include_dir only works when INCLUDING files, it has no effect when you access them by other means (eg. with fopen())! Your only solution then is to set the user or group (if safe_mode_gid is activated) of the file to the same as the script you are executing or disable safe mode altogether. See bug 20054 (http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=20054). -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/features.safe-mode.php http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+29584 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+29584 http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+29584
