Does open_basedir works recursive?

Question

Does open_basedir works recursive? For example if I write in php.ini something like: open_basedir=/client3/web3/web Does it include all directories in /client3/web3/web (/client3/web3/web/1, /client3/web3/web/2, )?

From the doc:

open_basedir string

Limit the files that can be opened by PHP to the specified directory-tree

....

When you want to restrict access to only the specified directory, end with a slash.

So, your answer is yes.

The path supplied to the open_basedir setting is the root of a directory tree.

Limit the files that can be opened by PHP to the specified directory-tree, including the file itself.

So yes anything below will be accessible.
