Are there any best practices for handling dynamic content retrieval from a database in PHP to avoid open_basedir restrictions?

When retrieving dynamic content from a database in PHP, it's important to avoid triggering open_basedir restrictions which can limit file access. One way to handle this is to use PHP's built-in functions like file_get_contents() or cURL to retrieve content from the database without directly accessing files on the server. 

// Example code snippet to retrieve dynamic content from a database in PHP without triggering open_basedir restrictions

// Connect to the database
$servername = "localhost";
$username = "username";
$password = "password";
$dbname = "database";
$conn = new mysqli($servername, $username, $password, $dbname);

// Check connection
if ($conn->connect_error) {
    die("Connection failed: " . $conn->connect_error);
}

// Retrieve dynamic content from the database
$sql = "SELECT content FROM dynamic_content WHERE id = 1";
$result = $conn->query($sql);

if ($result->num_rows > 0) {
    // Output data of each row
    while($row = $result->fetch_assoc()) {
        echo $row["content"];
    }
} else {
    echo "0 results";
}

$conn->close();
