i've a script that worked well with 4.2.2, this scripts makes an upload

my ini is set to:

open basedir=. 

;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;
; File Uploads ;
;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;;

; Whether to allow HTTP file uploads.
file_uploads = On

; Temporary directory for HTTP uploaded files (will use system default if not
; specified).
upload_tmp_dir ="c:\temp\php-uploads"

; Maximum allowed size for uploaded files.
upload_max_filesize = 6M


my script does simply:

move_uploaded_file($_FILES['new_file_file']['tmp_name'],
$this->path.$this->filename);
in my class...

it gives me:

Warning: move_uploaded_file() [function.move-uploaded-file.html]:
open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(c:\temp\php-uploads\phpD.tmp) is not within the allowed path(s): (.)
in C:\neoportal\modules\mediaalbum\mediafile_class.php on line 95

it seems that a open_basedir check is made on the source file and not only on the destination file. the file is correctly uploaded to c:\temp\php-uploads\phpD.tmp but not moved to dest folder (that is a subfolder of current dir so it's in the allowed path)

The same error is in PHPMYADMIN 2.3.3pl1 when i try to upload a file .sql

Adding the c:\temp\ path to open basedir as ".;c:\temp\" doesn't help

missing _ in open_basedir ?
 [2003-01-27 06:36 UTC] mak77 at anvi dot it 
no that is my writing fault on this submission :)

Yeah this behavior has changed, it didn't do this in 4.2.3.  It seems like it *used to* bypass the open_basedir check when using move_uploaded_file on a file in upload_tmp_dir.  Or rather, it added one's upload_tmp_dir to open_basedir automatically (bug 17488).

Could someone comment as to whether or not this is a permanent change, and if so, perhaps document it somewhere on php.net?

yes - i have the same problem with php running as cgi in windows 2000 pro with IIS. it used to work just fine, but now with 4.3.0 i get the same error. it seems like this is a bug, because the documentation specifically says:

move_uploaded_file() is not affected by the normal safe-mode UID-restrictions. This is not unsafe because move_uploaded_file() only operates on files uploaded via PHP. 

even though open_basedir is not safe_mode i think the same logic should apply!

meanwhile i'll just add the temp dir to open_basedir is a quickfix.

It's a bug.
Streams enforces safe mode for this operation, but it should be allowed to carry on.
