Status: No Feedback
Bug Type: *Directory/Filesystem functions
Operating System: Linux
PHP Version: 5.1.4
New Comment:

I also had an issue with this when going down a directory and then
coming up a directory to a file that DID exist.

Error shown was this:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction
in effect. File(../form/application_submit.php) is not within the
allowed path(s): (/var/www/vhosts/***.com/subdomains/dev/httpdocs:/tmp)
in
/var/www/vhosts/***.com/subdomains/dev/httpdocs/partners/form/form.php
on line 24

The file application_submit.php did exist, but because the directory
was going down and then back up into the same directory, file_exits
incorrectly labeled it as not in the open_basedir list.

I don't thin you need an ebuild to build an app from sources.
Please try the snapshot.

i'm not able to test the 5.2cvs version because i'm using
gentoo linux distro, so unless a working ebuild i'm not
able to test it. However i'll try a manual installation

Please try using this CVS snapshot:

http://snaps.php.net/php5.2-latest.tar.gz

For Windows:

http://snaps.php.net/win32/php5.2-win32-latest.zip

Seems to work fine.

Description:
------------
the function is_readable() and file_exists() report open_basedir
restriction also on files that are inside the open_basedir, showing a
warning on the screen, such as:

Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir restriction
in effect.
File(/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/skin/equilibrium/css/mozilla/style.css)
is not within the allowed path(s):
(/usr/share/php/:/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/:/tmp/) in
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/cryolibs/core/core.common.php
on line 582

the previous warning tell that file
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/skin/equilibrium/css/mozilla/style.css
is not into the open_basedir, but the dir:
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/ is specified into the open_basedir
statement, so the warning must not be showed.

Investigating more deeply i have noticed that the warning do not happen
for 'all' the files involved with the function file_exists() or
is_readable(), but only for that files that do not exists. Infact,
checking
/var/www/ineluttabile.it/equilibrium/http-docs/skin/equilibrium/css/mozilla/style.css
the file do not exists, and file_exists() return correctly a FALSE
value, but the warning do not have any meaning (IMHO), maybe have a mean
for the function is_readable(), but not for file_exists() and however,
the file is inside the open_basedir restriction so it is a non sense
warning.
