In apache, using nameserver based mass virtual hosting, I can't set open_basedir per user/virtual host basis.
Solutions like php_admin_value .:/usr/lib/php didn't work for all users (../include).

The solution that I think of is to set open_basedir to something like ".:/var/www/*/:/usr/lib/php", where '*' will be replaced by the coresponded directory from the script path.
For example '/var/www/www.site.com/forum/index.php' should have open_basedir '/var/www/www.site.com/'.

I made an 'works for me patch' available here:
ftp://ftp.idilis.ro/linux/idilis/basedir.patch

However it wold be nice if this feature would be included in future php versions.

Similar problem here: We want to use php with apache2 
(mpm_worker) via fastcgi for a shared hosting setup. One 
solution to securing this is to use mod_suexec to create a 
separate pool of php instances per virtualhost. But that's 
eating tons of RAM. 
 
If open_basedir (and if possible also 
safe_mode_include_dir, safe_mode_exec_dir, include_path and 
upload_tmp_dir) would accept wildcards as described in the 
original requets, it would be possible to securely use one 
pool of php instances for all vhosts.
