lifting the base_dir for ~user directories

[michaellunsford]

I'm having some difficulty getting require_once to work for web ~users. Right now, I am trying to require_once "/usr/share/pear/pear.php" -- but it's giving me an open_basedir restriction.

Problem. open_basedir is being properly configured in vhost.conf. It works great for anything else on the entire website, but not for ~web_users -- which apparently have a different conf file I would need to create. The script author suggested that I could "include" the pear directory, instead of lifting the base_dir. Honestly, I'm not quite sure what he's talking about.

Any suggestions?

What he means is use the php.ini settings to include the path, you can do it in the script like so :

[code]
ini_set( 'include_path', '/whatever/path/you/like' . ini_get('include_path'));
[/code]

And php will look in these directories to execute files.  Also check :

[code]
<?php phpinfo(); ?>
[/code]

To see your set includes path, which can be edited directly in the ini file.
