# a php open_basedir patch
# by Pawel Maziarz <p.maziarz@infomex.pl>
#
# this patch enables you to use a special char ~ in open_basedir variable which
# is placed in php.ini. ~ is replaced with script owner's home directory.
# example:
#          open_basedir = "~:/tmp"
#          open_basedir = "~/public_html"
#
# to apply this patch, go to the php source directory and type:
# patch -p1 < php-4.3.2-open_basedir.patch
