Hello!

There's a website with a following structure

index.php in the site's DocumentRoot directory (for this thread, let's
call it /www)

functions.php, init.php and db_connect.php in /www/library

index.php includes line:

include_once('library/functions.php');

functions.php includes lines:

include_once('db_connect.php');
include_once('init.php');

The website was running fine under PHP 4.4.0 installed as Apache module.

Then we tried it with PHP 5.0.5 installed as CGI. We got the following
errors:

PHP Warning: main() : open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(/db_connect.php) is not within the allowed path(s):
(/www:/usr/local/www/phpMyAdmin:/var/tmp/php) in
/www/library/functions.php on line 2
PHP Warning: main(db_connect.php) : failed to open stream: Operation
not permitted in /www/library/functions.php on line 2
PHP Warning: main() : Failed opening 'db_connect.php' for inclusion
(include_path='.:') in /www/library/functions.php on line 2

....and similar 3 messages about init.php.

Note that first warning is about '/db_connect.php', not 'db_connect.php'
or './db_connect.php'. /www/library should be inside the open_basedir,
since it is under /www, which is listed in open_basedir in php.ini. It
looks like something is changed in PHP's behaviour between versions 4
and 5 or is differently handled in CGI vs Apache SAPI, but I find it
unlikely since I can find no documentation regarding this. It's more
likely that I am overlooking something trivial, but I can't figure out
what it is.

I tried to change the include lines to

include_once('./db_connect.php');
include_once('./init.php');

but this made no difference.

However, when I specify the full path:

include_once('/www/library/db_connect.php');
include_once('/www/library/init.php');

then the errors disappear and 'everything' seems to work.

Also, I never get any errors about the

include_once('library/funcions.php');

line in index.php

I'm puzzled...
