open_basedir prohibits opening %s

Description

open_basedir is a PHP directive which limits access of the inclusion functions, such as include and require, to include files which are outside the path specified with open_basedir.

Example

<?php

include '/private/folder/secret.php';

?>

Alternatives

• Update the open_basedir directive to allow access to the file.
• Update the inclusion path to target a file that falls within the paths in the open_basedir directive.
