The "in <file> on line <line>" that directly follows the open_basedir bit makes it sound like one should look for something dealing with "open_basedir" in <file> in order to resolve the error (assuming they aren't in safe mode). This situation actually happened on a PHP support community I'm a member of. I only mention this to show that I'm not simply quibbling over semantics/grammar but rather trying to clarify a misleading error message. Test script: --------------- <?php ini_set('open_basedir', '/'); // for testing purposes $ch = curl_init(); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 1); Expected result: ---------------- No output. Actual result: -------------- PHP Warning: curl_setopt(): CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in G:\php\test.php on line 6 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Edit this bug report at http://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=51629&edit=1
