Description:
------------
read how reproduce this bug FIRST!!!

try execute file_exists($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);

$_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'] is '/DISK2/WWW/xxx.cz/www/index.php'

it fails with error:

Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(underconstruction.html) is not within the allowed path(s): (/DISK2/WWW:/DISK3/WWW:/DISK2/TMP:/NET:/tmp) in /DISK2/WWW/xxx.cz/www/index.php on line 7


Reproduce code:
---------------
---
From manual page: function.file-exists#Description
---
safe-mode ON

execute script by CRON, means $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] is empty

get of getcwd() returns '/'





Expected result:
----------------
why should I change

 chdir('/DISK2/WWW/xxx.cz/www/')

before use of function

file_exists($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']);
or
file_exists('/DISK2/WWW/xxx.cz/www/index.php')

when I ask this function for file that is IN ALLOWED PATH

Actual result:
--------------
correct file_exists function

What is the exact error you get with exactly what line of code? And what is open_basedir set to? (EXACTLY..)
 [2009-12-25 15:12 UTC] svecpetr at svecpetr dot com 
just read :o)

open_base dir is: /DISK2/WWW:/DISK3/WWW:/DISK2/TMP:/NET:/tmp

error message is: Warning: file_exists(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File('/DISK2/WWW/xxx.cz/www/index.php') is not within the allowed path(s):
(/DISK2/WWW:/DISK3/WWW:/DISK2/TMP:/NET:/tmp) in
/DISK2/WWW/xxx.cz/www/index.php on line 7

Any symlinks involved anywhere along that path?

And yes, as Jani asked for, your relevant php.ini settings and a 
reproducing script would help us determine what is going on here.  
open_basedir works fine, so there is something you are not telling us.
