Disable relative path in php.ini

[howa]

As I remember, php has a settings which can disable the PHP codes to
open a file like that...


<?php

echo file_get_conten ts("../temp/../test.php");

?>

Anyone can confirm is that such a setting?

thanks.

I have no idea which setting this would be. open_basedir can be used to
box users in, maybe that's what you're after?

Easy way is to just check to see whether your file path matches this PCRE:

#(^|/)..(/|$)#

That is the start of the string followed by '../'; or '/../' anywhere in
the string; or '/..' at the end of the string; or the string consisting
only of '..'.

If you are trying to solve shared-hosting security problems, check

Hope this will help.
