It's not just you - there are "tutorials" and mailing list posts all over the net that impart the same advice. So I'm not surprised that you recommended it, you probably picked it up as a byproduct of someone else's flawed recommendation long ago :) As a Linux person - think of the absolute *last* possible root only place that you could ever stick a PHP library into, with the most risk to security possible. That is the equivalent of C:\Windows\System.
