Thank you.

However I'm still not convinced that it will be of any help. In what
parts oh PHP does apache file:// scheme handling apply? I guess it
concerns includes/requires, stuffs like that? One of the main purposes
of what I'm asking is to restrict file accesses within the built-in PHP
XSLT processor and it makes use of the PHP stream system which is, like
you said, independent of apache.

I'm going to dig the apache docs though. But I doubt it will be my answer.

Thanks again,

Julien.
