I have specified the "open_basedir" in our php.ini file on our Windows 2000 Server running IIS5. No matter what I set open_basedir = it does not work. It will still allow me to open any file on the hard drive. I have tried specifying all of the following and it seems to have no effect: open_basedir = . open_basedir = "." open_basedir = /. open_basedir = "/." open_basedir = ./ open_basedir = "./" open_basedir = c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ open_basedir = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\" open_basedir = c:\inetpub\wwwroot open_basedir = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot" None of those worked... in each case, I was still able to open and display the contents of c:\winnt\php.ini I tried turning safe_mode on and off and it didn't seem to make any difference. Can anyone tell me what I might be doing wrong or overlooking?
