The ``++open_basedir++`` configuration in _php.ini_ limits the files the script can access using, for example, ``++include++`` and ``++fopen()++``. Leave it out, and there is no default limit, meaning that any file can be accessed. Include it, and PHP will refuse to access files outside the allowed path.
``++open_basedir++`` should be configured with a directory, which will then be accessible recursively. However, the use of ``++.++`` (current directory) as an ``++open_basedir++`` value should be avoided since it's resolved dynamically during script execution, so a ``++chdir('/')++`` command could lay the whole server open to the script.
This is not a fool-proof configuration; it can be reset or overridden at the script level. But its use should be seen as a minimum due diligence step. This rule raises an issue when ``++open_basedir++`` is not present in _php.ini_, and when ``++open_basedir++`` contains root, or the current directory (``++.++``) symbol.
== Noncompliant Code Example
[source,php]
----
; php.ini try 1
; open_basedir="${USER}/scripts/data" Noncompliant; commented out
; php.ini try 2
open_basedir="/:${USER}/scripts/data" ; Noncompliant; root directory in the list
----
== Compliant Solution
[source,php]
----
; php.ini try 1
open_basedir="${USER}/scripts/data"
