Hi php users,
I found something strange and don't know if it is a bug or that it is the
way it should work.
Situation:
----------
open_basedir = .
PHP-4 runs as apache module. (unix)
Safe-mode is on.
Webserver document tree:
/home/www/html/
There exists a link in that tree to the www directory of a user:
/home/www/html/rvdberg -> /home/rvdberg/www
I have a PHP script in:
/home/rvdberg/www/test_fopen.php
and a file:
/home/rvdberg/www/textfile.txt
Problem:
---------
When opening files in the current directory with PHP:
$fp = fopen("./textfile.txt","r");
This gives an error complaining about the open_basedir setting not allowing
to open this file.
It all DOES work when I do the same thing in a directory which isn't
pointed to by a symbolic link! So, the same php file in the directory
/home/www/html/php_testdir/test_fopen.php
works!?
Question:
---------
What I want is clear I think: I only want the php scripts to be able to
open files in the current directory and further down in the tree.
Setting open_basedir to "." seems logical, but doesn't work.
Seems to be related to the symbolic link.
How to solve? Or should I submit a bug report?
