Ave,
Somehow my PHP won't access, won't even acknowledge the existence

never a a
problem before in any Mac version - it just started with Leopard.
I don't know what has changed where, in httpd.conf or php.ini or
somewhere
else, but something changed that's crippling access to files
outside of the
webserver.
This Works in Mac OS X 10.3.9 (i.e., prints File Exists) but the
same exact
script does not work in Mac OS X 10.5, and yes, the file is
available in
Leopard in the mentioned location - path is exact same -
permissions are all
set:
$filename = "/Users/username/Documents/Transfers/test.txt";
if (file_exists($filename)) {
echo "The file $filename exists<br><br>";
} else {
echo "The file $filename does not exist<br><br>";
}
I¹ve already checked safe_mode which is Off and open_basedir which
is not
set same settings as php.ini from before.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Thanks!

Sounds like a clear case of Apache being chroot'ed.
This is based off the BSD style setup I believe. Which I believe
Mac uses, So, I would check your startup line for Apache. I did
some googling, but I could not find anything to confirm my thinking
that the Mac Apache configuration is anything like the default
OpenBSD setup.
I know you can manually start httpd with the -u flag to disable
chrooting
Again, I can't find any examples of the Mac setup, but my money
would be on chrooting as the problem.
I have been a Mac user for my entire computing life, and although I
can't tell you the difference between Apple's setup and OpenBSD's set
up.. I can point you to a list that would definitely be able to help.
which is: http://lists.apple.com/mailman/listinfo/macos-x-server
That list as some of the most knowledgeable mac Heads I have ever
dealt with, and they have helped me through all kinds of stuff.
If anyone can tell you, they can.
