open_basedir errors

[Paul]

Hi

Im testing a script to see if it works in different situations and
open_basedir is one of them. However if i turn it On all i get is errors

Warning: Unknown(): open_basedir restriction in effect.
File(c:\web\httpdocs\session.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (1)
in Unknown on line 0

Warning: Unknown(c:\web\httpdocs\session.php): failed to open stream:
Operation not permitted in Unknown on line 0

Warning: (null)(): Failed opening 'c:\web\httpdocs\session.php' for
inclusion (include_path='.;c:\php4\pear') in Unknown on line 0
This code has no includes infact the file is only this

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

How can i make this work.

Help is greatly appreciated
I should mention this is on a local testing machine WinXP and im using
PHP 4.3.7 and the httpdocs directory is the document root.

You've probably set the open_basedir directive somewhere. That restricts
PHP access to certain directories. Check php.ini and your Apache config
files (http.conf, .htacces, etc).

Thanks for replying.

Sorry to be sounding rude but i believe i mentioned i was using
open_basedir On in the php.ini

"Im testing a script to see if it works in different situations and

I probably should say how do i make sure that i dont get these errors
with it On. I dont see it with it off. Is there anything else the
open_basedir looks for.

Is the original code like that:

include("/session.php");

? Then try to make the path absolute:

include($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']."/session.php");

Actually the file (session.php) is just

<?php
phpinfo();
?>

Which is why im so stumped.

So session.php is not included from an other script, but called directly
from the browser's address line? Really strange. Sorry I am not familiar
with php.ini stuff; I just solved open_basedir restriction errors with
includes that way.

BTW I assume the missing question mark in your PHP end tag is a typo in your
posting, not in your file?

I'm not near a php machine at the moment, but I seem to remember that the
"(1)" in your error message normally shows the paths allowed by
open_basedir. Did you "turn on" open_basedir by setting it to the value of
1? The value is supposed to be set to the list of directories (actually,
prefixes) to which the user is allowed access.
