[thelist] PHP: open_basedir path: recursive or not?

[Rich Gray]

Try changing the script to use move_uploaded_file() instead of copy()

What error message does the script output, Stephane?  You should be able to
see what the exact problem is through it.

To go over your answers briefly though:

The path in open_basedir does not require a slash at the end.

The owner of the files is indeed an issue - the files' uid's should be the
same as the uploading scripts, otherwise PHP will complain.

If doc_root is set, PHP won't access files outside this directory and
subdirectories.  If it is not set though, then you can access any part of
the
filesystem.
