I have just installed MandrakeLinux 8.0.  I have a PHP program that contains the following require() function -->
require($PS_BASE.'modules/core/lib/ps_page_open.inc'); <-- This require() picks up code outside my web tree for security reasons.  When executed I get the following error --> Fatal error: Failed opening required '/home/phpshop/phpshop- core/modules/core/lib/ps_page_open.inc' (include_path='') in /var/www/html/admin/prepend.php on line 14. <--
If I execute the require(), pointing at the same directory as the requesting program, it works just fine.  What do I need to do to execute a require() against code outside of my web tree.  What product would be causing the problem? (Mandrake, PHP, Apache, ...).

This sounds like a most likely a file permission problem to me.
If  you think this is a bug, please provide the reason.
