letoDMS on a open_basedir system limitation

[matteocisilino]

Hallo ,

i've reached some problems with open_basedir , and the patch from alekseynfor , imho , doesn't fit well .
This is my patch , done with fury/dirt/quick phProgramming

PHP Code:

function makeDir($path) {
                 
                if (strncmp($path, DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR, 1) == 0) {
                        $mkfolder = DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
                }
                else {
                        $mkfolder = "";
                }
/*
                $path = preg_split( "/[\\\\\/]/" , $path );
                for(  $i=0 ; isset( $path[$i] ) ; $i++ )
                {
                        if(!strlen(trim($path[$i])))continue;
                        $mkfolder .= $path[$i];
*/
$mkfolder = $path;
                        if( !is_dir( $mkfolder ) ){
                                $res=@mkdir($mkfolder,0777,true);
                                if (!$res) return false;
                        }
                        $mkfolder .= DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
//              }

                return true;

                // patch from alekseynfor safe_mod or open_basedir

                global $settings;
                $path = substr_replace ($path, "/", 0, strlen($settings->_contentDir));
                $mkfolder = $settings->_contentDir;

                $path = preg_split( "/[\\\\\/]/" , $path );

                for(  $i=0 ; isset( $path[$i] ) ; $i++ )
                {
                        if(!strlen(trim($path[$i])))continue;
                        $mkfolder .= $path[$i];

                        if( !is_dir( $mkfolder ) ){
                                $res= @mkdir( "$mkfolder" ,  0777);
                                if (!$res) return false;
                        }
                        $mkfolder .= DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR;
                }

                return true;

        } 


What was the problem ? simple :
The Open_basedir prevents the render to access all nodes that are behind the node that i "jail" it .
so if your script want to make / del a DIRECTORY that is :
/home/SITE/sub/DIRECTORY
and my basepath is fixed to sub , i cannot recurse directly using :
is_dir(/home) and then is_dir(/home/SITE) , and so on , tha restriction "kill" it at the first step .
But if i point the process directly to /home/SITE/sub/DIRECTORY and use the mkdir() option for recursion i'll fix directly the problem , also bypassing another problem , the making of the "track" directories , if i need to make a foo/bar/THIS , and foo/bar doesn't exists , using recursion the system will create the "intermediate" directoris autonomusly .

hope this "Italinglish" words help anyone
