"fopen(): Open_basedir Restriction In Effect" Error

[WxGuy1]

I'm writing a PHP script that will read the files in a particular folder, then make individual php files for each image file (each php file will be a page that contains an image). The master script will be located under /home/[username]/public_html/events/template/ , and the individual pages and images will be contained in /home/[username]/public_html/events/$eventname/ (where $eventname is some word to describe an event). In this case, I set $eventname to "test".

 

>// $eventname and $folder are defined previously and $username is my Cpanel username
$text = "/home/{$username}/public_html/events/{$eventname}intro.html";
$eventfile = file($text);

$dir = "/home/{$username}/public_html/events/{$eventname}/";
$dh = opendir($dir);
while (($file = readdir($dh)) !== false) {
 if ($file != "." && $file != "..") {
$file = substr($file,0,strlen($file)-4);
$files[] = $file;
 }
}
closedir($dh);
$numfiles = count($files)-2;

for ($i=0; $i < numfiles; $i++) {
 $file = fopen("/home/{$username}/public_html/events/{$eventname}/{${files}[$i]}.php", "x");   ///LINE 34

 

I receive the following error (again, I removed my Cpanel username):

><b>Warning</b>:  fopen(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/[username]/public_html/events/test/img_1646-01_std.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home2/[username]/:/usr/local/sqmail/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in <b>/home2/[username]/public_html/events/template/makepicpages.php</b> on line <b>34</b><br />

 

Any help?

Try replacing home with home2.

I see that from the path to your script:

/home2/[username]/public_html/events/template/makepicpages.php
