open_basedir does not apply to shell_exec backticks?


Recommended Posts

I have a script that simply does this:

 

<?

$sCMD = `/bin/cat /tmp/test.txt`;

echo $sCMD;

?>

 

This works. But my open_dirbase does not include /bin or /tmp. Does anyone know why executing a program using backticks like this bypasses open_basedir? This should not work correct?

 

I'm running PHP 5.3.16 on linux kernel 2.4.
