Hi, thank you for reading my posts, *could anybody help me to understand why realpath cache is disabled if safe_mode or open_basedir are set?* Or must I remove safe_mode and open_basedir setting at all?
Is there a document that describe a best practice to follow this way (for example a list of PHP function we have to disable).
