Description:
------------
- Using the VC9 x86 Non Thread Safe 5.3.1 version and the 5.3.2RC1 version from windows.php.net
- IIS7 using fast cgi
- Script works when under C:\inetpub\wwwroot
- Script gives warning when it is running under a virtual directory or application
- Problem does not exist when open_basedir is not set
- Following are some php.ini settings from development ini file
  - cgi.force_redirect = 0
  - cgi.fix_pathinfo = 1
  - fastcgi.impersonate = 1
  - fastcgi.logging = 0

Reproduce code:
---------------
<?php
$root = dirname(__FILE__);
echo $root;
echo 'phpinfo.php: ' . file_exists('test.php') . '<br>';
echo 'junk.php: ' . file_exists('junk.php') . '<br><br>';

echo 'phpinfo.php: ' . file_exists("$root/test.php") . '<br>';
echo 'junk.php: ' . file_exists("$root/junk.php") . '<br><br>';
?>

junk.php:

test.php: 1
junk.php:

What's the value of open basedir?

Hi jani:
There does not seem to be a compiled snapshot for windows posted on windows.php.net at this time. I tried to compile php5.3-latest.tar.gz
myself, however I can't seem to get nmake to finish successfully at this time. The Visual Studio compilers, bison, and flex were successfully found.

Hi pajoye:
Open basedir is set to
open_basedir = "C:\inetpub\wwwroot;C:\Users\myname\WIP"

Thanks for your guys' responses.
