CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION

[floppydrivez]

I am trying to fetch some data from a site.  As long as the site doesn't redirect it works fine, but if it does then it goes to poo.  So to counteract the problem I set FOLLOWLOCATION.

 

/*we first retrieve the contente of the page using the Curl library*/
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $URL);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FILETIME, 1);
curl_setopt ($ch, CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION, 2);

$store = curl_exec ($ch);

 

Which produces this error

 

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in home/myfolder/

 

I have had no luck with a fix or work around.  Any suggestions?

I think your out of luck.

To unset openbase_dir wouldn't be the answer for security reasons right?

[trq]

Oh, if you have access to such settings its perfectly safe to enable it.

[floppydrivez]

I think the error says I should disable it.  I will have a look around.

The error states that your open_basedir setting is limitted to the current directory. If you set open_basedir to blank, it defaults to allow all.
