How can PHP scripts access files in different directories without triggering safe mode restrictions?

When PHP scripts are running in safe mode, they are restricted from accessing files outside of their designated directory for security reasons. To bypass these restrictions, you can use the `open_basedir` directive in the php.ini file to specify the directories from which PHP scripts are allowed to access files. 

// Set the allowed directories for file access
ini_set('open_basedir', '/path/to/allowed/directory:/another/allowed/directory');

// Now PHP scripts can access files in the specified directories without triggering safe mode restrictions
$file = '/path/to/allowed/directory/file.txt';
$data = file_get_contents($file);
echo $data;
