open_basedir() work around

[Kudose]

Does anyone know a way to work aorund open_basedir(). I get this error:

Warning: opendir(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/home/user/www/'Car'/) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/zayyscec:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/zayyscec/public_html/showcars.php on line 9

Warning: opendir(/home/user/www/'Car'/): failed to open dir: Operation not permitted in /home/zayyscec/public_html/showcars.php on line 9

Warning: readdir(): supplied argument is not a valid Directory resource in /home/zayyscec/public_html/showcars.php on line 11

from this code:

<?
include('top.php'); 
include('left.php');
include('dbinfo.inc.php'); 
?>  <td width="81%"> <?

$kind = $HTTP_GET_VARS['kind'];
$dir = "/home/user/www/'$kind'/"; 
$fd = opendir($dir); 

while (False !== ($image=readdir($fd))){ 
$query = mysql_query("SELECE * FROM auto WHERE kind='$kind'") or die(mysql_error());
$url = mysql_fetch_assoc($query) or die(mysql_error());
$link = $url['stockid'];
$year = $url['year'];
$make = $url['make'];
$model = $url['model'];
echo "<a href='show.php?stockid=$link'><img src='$image' width='100' height='100' /><br> $year $make $model </a>"; 
}

?>


   </td>

<? include('bottom.php'); ?>

THANKS!

I think you're problem is in this line:

"/home/user/www/'$kind'/";

You have '$kind'. Do you mean to have the single quotes? I'm thinking you didn't setup your directories with single quotes (not sure thats a legit character for a directory anyways). Pull the single quotes out and try again.

try a little something like this

<?
include('top.php');

include('left.php');
include('dbinfo.inc.php');

?> <td width="81%"> <?

$kind = $HTTP_GET_VARS['kind'];
$dir = '/home/user/www/'.$kind.'/'; //this should be a better path

if($fd = opendir($dir)){ //any time you can, always test to make sure an operation completed successfully

while (False !== ($image=readdir($fd))){

$query = mysql_query("SELECE * FROM auto WHERE kind='$kind'") or die(mysql_error());
$url = mysql_fetch_assoc($query) or die(mysql_error());
$link = $url['stockid'];
$year = $url['year'];
$make = $url['make'];
$model = $url['model'];
echo "<a href='show.php?stockid=$link'><img src='$image' width='100' height='100' /><br> $year $make $model </a>";

}

} else {
echo 'failed to open dir';
}
?>

</td>

<? include('bottom.php'); ?>

Yeah, I noticed that and fixed it and still got the same error.

I just noticed a typo in your query: SELECE should be SELECT

Doubt that will solve all your problems though...
