Description:
------------
---
From manual page: http://www.php.net/manual/en/ini.core.php#ini.open-basedir
---

---
open_basedir string
Limit the files that can be opened by PHP to the specified directory-tree [...]

When a script tries to open a file with, FOR EXAMPLE, fopen() or gzopen(), the 
location of the file is checked.
---

FOR EXAMPLE?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

It is not clear whether or not this affects include, require, require_once and 
include_once.

Please list all the file-opening functions and statements that this directive 
affects, or say "all except " and list those it doesn't affect. Or, if it 
affects all and every statement that may opens a file in any way, then state it 
clearly.

From a quick scan, dir, stat, link, file, fopen wrappers, temp files, glob and a 
bunch of extensions.

I'm not sure of the terminology to use in the example, it should be the case that 
the author of any extension should be using open_basedir.

This bug has been fixed in the documentation's XML sources. Since the
online and downloadable versions of the documentation need some time
to get updated, we would like to ask you to be a bit patient.

Thank you for the report, and for helping us make our documentation better.
