Add single file to PHP open_basedir paths?

  • 772

Is it valid to add a single filepath (not a directory/folder) to the open_basedir config in PHP?

Is this valid:

/var/log/apache2/php.log

Or MUST it be

/var/log/apache2/
php

  1. Despite the docs saying the parameters are seperated directories, it works also with specific files.

    Example:

    open_basedir = /var/log/apache2/php.log

    You can write now to the file php.log, but, you can't work on the directory /var/log/apache2.

  2. Per the PHP docs - only directories are supported.

    Limit the files that can be accessed by PHP to the specified directory-tree, including the file itself.
