ID: 7187 Updated by: danbeck Reported By: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Old-Status: Open Status: Closed Bug Type: Documentation problem Operating system: PHP Version: 4.0.3 Assigned To: Comments: I'm closing this and re-opening a more detailed bug report. This is only indirectly related to open_basedir now. Previous Comments: --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-16 08:19:46] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reclassified as documentation problem. On page: http://www.php.net/manual/configuration.php The directives should be somehow grouped better to see e.g. which ones can be changed with php_value and which are only changeable with php_admin_value. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-16 08:04:18] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fixed in php4.03pl1. i should use php_admin_value open_basedir '.' instead of php_value open_basedir '.' Please make it clear in manual. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-15 17:09:32] [EMAIL PROTECTED] Should be fixed in php4.03pl1. --Jani --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-13 12:27:37] [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.php.net/manual/configuration.php ---- open_basedir string Limit the files that can be opened by PHP to the specified directory-tree. When a script tries to open a file with, for example, fopen or gzopen, the location of the file is checked. When the file is outside the specified directory-tree, PHP will refuse to open it. All symbolic links are resolved, so it's not possible to avoid this restriction with a symlink. The special value . indicates that the directory in which the script is stored will be used as base-directory --- I don't need full path - i want to restrict users from accessing files in upperlevel directories. as Mr. Zeev Suraski said: It's not related to open_basedir, there's a problem in the php_value system in 4.0.3. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- [2000-10-13 12:20:35] [EMAIL PROTECTED] You should be using full path with the open_basedir directive as far as I know. Can you please try and let us know of the results? --------------------------------------------------------------------------- The remainder of the comments for this report are too long.
