Bug #13420 open_basedir breaks Apache SSI xbithack

Linux version 2.4.4
Apache version 1.3.19
Php version 4.0.6

When xbithack is set to FULL in .htaccess, setting test.htm chmod to 754 allows the SSI calls in test.htm to perform as expected.

However, when open_basedir is specified in httpd.conf the xbithack directive is ignored and SSI calls in test.htm stop working.

This may be the reason that some of the developers were not able to reproduce a similar bug reported in Bug id #10575.

Changing any php_admin setting through the httpd.conf file using the following format appears to breaks Apache SSI xbithack:

<DIRECTORY />
    php_admin_value open_basedir "."
    php_admin_flag asp_tags on
</DIRECTORY>

This same bug strikes PHP 4.0.6 on Solaris 2.6. Our system runs PHP in safe mode with no exec dir; as a result, NO html page marked as executable can be displayed. This is so crippling that we're going to have to remove PHP until it is fixed :-(

It looks as though PHP is scanning all HTML pages when the XBitHack is enabled.

Thank you for taking the time to report a problem with PHP.
Unfortunately you are not using a current version of PHP -- 
the problem might already be fixed. Please download a new
PHP version from http://www.php.net/downloads.php

If you are able to reproduce the bug with one of the latest
versions of PHP, please change the PHP version on this bug report
to the version you tested and change the status back to "Open".
Again, thank you for your continued support of PHP.
