PHP: Can't Set Open_basedir


I try to execute:

var_dump(ini_set("open_basedir",ini_get("open_basedir")));

with PHP and get false.

Apache 2. PHP Version: 5.3.28, it should change it from script, how i read at php.net documentation.

Currently open_basedir is .:/data/www/vhosts/hostname:/tmp

I try to do it at local server with same OS, Apache and PHP and all ok. I try to set already setted value because i try to debug why i can't put any value there. Help, please !


Solution

  • Typically open_basedir is no value in php 5. (hence it may return false -- if you are setting it by getting the current value and use var_dump for display).

    I suggest you to use the following to see what actual value is the open_basedir in your system:

    <?php
    phpinfo();
    ?>
    

    To further test, please try this code:

    1. use ini_set to set the value;
    2. return it;
    <?php
    //var_dump(ini_set("open_basedir",ini_get("open_basedir")));
    
    ini_set("open_basedir", ".\hello");
    echo "The open_basedir value is :". ini_get('open_basedir');
    ?>
