PHP open_basedir configuration ?

[webbouk]

The present setting for open_basedir within php.ini on my server is to allow access to all files (;open_basedir =)
I'm presuming that only applies from the root of the drive that php is installed in, ie in this case the C drive.
A quick check of the php_info file shows the setting to be: C:/Inetpub/vhosts/site_name\;C:\WINDOWS\Temp\

To give PHP access to a folder on the D drive in the same server would this be as simple as changing the line within php.ini to:

open_basedir = C:\Inetpub\vhosts\ ; D:\foldername

which would give PHP access to all websites within the C drive and the folder within D drive?

Yes that is how to do it. You can also create an ini file in the root of the website and set it there.

Thanks @AWS, I wasn't sure and didn't want to break anything by trial and error

Unfortunately that didn't work.

PHP Info showed the C drive directory within the master value but not the D drive directory.
I played around with the spacing and the position of the semi-colon but to no avail, and putting it on a separate line resulted in PHP not being able to access either drive

Make sure it set like this.

open_basedir = "C:\Inetpub\vhosts\;D:\foldername"

Notice the quotation marks.

If that doesn't work then create a user.ini file in the root directory and add that line in there.

Make sure

user_ini.filename = ".user.ini"

is set in php.ini.
