php 5.2.8 error_log - relative paths

[Andre Hübner <andre.huebner@xxxxxx>]

Hello,

i use in .htaccess
php_flag log_errors 1
php_value error_log  folder/file

seems to be a new behavior that folder/file must be a absolut value. relativ path/file raises an open_basedir error which is set up in httpd.conf
but folder/file is not outside open_basedir and is writeable.

Is this correct?

Thanks,
Andre
