We have been unable to secure our Windows 2000/IIS5 server from allowing
people to open any file on our server that they want to if they know the
path.  The safe_mode doesn't really work on Windows.  But I was told to use
the open_basedir option in our php.ini.  I added this option and it had no
effect on the ability for people to open files anywhere on the server.  I
tried numerous formats for the option, for example  open_basedir =
c:\inetpub\wwwroot    open_basedir = "c:\inetpub\wwwroot"   open_basedir = .
and on and on, with quotes, without quotes, forward slashes, backslashes,
even without the drive letter more like a unix path and nothing seemed to
work.

Has anyone actually got this to work?  If so, I would be very interested to
know what format you used for the option in the php.ini file.  Or however
else you managed to get this to work.

Thanks,
Erick
