Why not just add the dirs you intend to include from to open_basedir directly? It does not prevent arbitrary files from being loaded anyway from those dirs. A simple ob_start() include "file"; ob_get_clean() will happily give you the data. And if you wanted to see the source code, highlight_file() could be used.

The PDM recommendation covering the removal of safe_mode included a note on expanding the role of open_basedir. To that end, I'd like to propose introducing a new ini option: open_basedir_for_include which would allow using include/require(_once) on an expanded set of directories than what open_basedir would otherwise allow.

Since php_fopen_wrapper_for_zend() specifies STREAM_OPEN_FOR_INCLUDE, we can catch this option in the plain_files wrapper and expand the open_basedir check to allow specifying the alternate INI option (when set of course). Obviously if this new option were left unset and the regular open_basedir were set, we'd still use that for full BC.

If noone objects I'll add this functionality in between unicode related patches in a week or so.
