How can the open_basedir setting impact directory access in PHP scripts?

The open_basedir setting in PHP restricts the directories from which PHP scripts can access files. If a PHP script tries to access a file outside of the specified directories, it will result in an error. To solve this issue, you can adjust the open_basedir setting in the php.ini file to include the necessary directories for your scripts to access.

// Set the open_basedir setting to allow access to specific directories
ini_set('open_basedir', '/path/to/allowed/directory:/another/allowed/directory');
