In main/fopen_wrappers.c I see that there is a function:
PHPAPI int php_check_specific_open_basedir(char *basedir, char *path PLS_DC)

However "basedir" is never used in this function at all,
only PG(open_basedir).

Surely this negates the point of the function being called individually for each tokenised entry on open_basedir/php.ini?   I think it will only match, ever, on the first entry in the config file.

So, should all references to PG(open_basedir) in php_check_specific_open_basedir() be replaced with the arg basedir ?

Thanks,

Paul Gregg

I thought, while I'm here, I'd submit a patch to fix this.

The patch also includes support for an additional special case in php.ini's open_basedir.
The current "." allows scripts to access files in the same directory as the script.
"DOCUMENT_ROOT" allows a script to access any other file in the virtualhost's directory tree.  DOCUMENT_ROOT is calculated by PATH_TRANSLATED and removing SCRIPT_URI from the end - This conveniently works for both full Apache Virtalhosts and mod_aliased Mass virtual hosting (I don't know if this is true for the newer mod_vhost - just check what PATH_TRANSLATED and SCRIPT_URI is set to in phpinfo() - if removing the latter from the former is the sites docroot then you are away).

Anyway, the patch: code shamelessly copied from the "." segment :)

(I realise cut-n-paste into this window will convert all the nice TABS to spaces, so a patch < this file isn't going to be as clean).

I'd really appreciate this being included in the next patchlevel / release as I'd guess that anyone already using "." will want this.

This will not make it into 4.0.5 as this was branched a while back but it might well make it into 4.0.6. Ill get a developer to look at this patch.

Thanks for the response, however, can you confirm that there is a logical coding error here?

The DOCUMENT_ROOT patch is secondary and would be nice - but is the bug going to be fixed in 4.0.5 ?

Regards,

Paul.

This is almost an exact copy of a patch I had submitted in October of 2000.(before I became a contributor).
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-dev&m=97145490702792&w=2
This idea (and many others) was on hold to a cleaner redesign of safe_mode.

There is NO logical error, basedir is used, check the patch that YOU *supposedly* submited, it uses basedir. 
Please don't try and claim other peoples code as your own.

Marked as Bogus
