There's actually a fix documented on php.net for this, and I'll implement it when I have time, but I have to say while I can understand the restriction in the stupid 'safe mode', I have no idea why it's restricted with open_basedir.

Safe mode is so annoying. I had to deal with it all of the time when I had NFSNET as my host. It's pretty much their only drawback for me.

It has been dropped from later PHP releases simply because it doesn't actually add anything useful as far as safety goes.

Well, even after the good ol' days of Safe Mode, remember how we got mod_security for Apache, the infamous module that would crash on you if you dared to enter ";id=" in the URL...? :P

There are way more rules in mod_security than that. Some of the configurations are downright weird, too.

(Yes, the host can actually configure what shows up in mod_security. I remember one host who used to actually kick back *any* requested URL with ; in it. Guess how that worked out for him.)

That's why you changed AeMe to use ;in= :o, never knew that.

Yup, that's the reason it was changed.

Yup, was tired of the fake "bug reports"...
SMF did it by changing 'id' to 'tid' or whatever was the first letter of their variable (topic, message...), I decided to adopt a single name that would stand for 'id number' and just replace 'id'... Happy with it.

Bumping to remind myself to fix this. I do now know and understand why it is in place, I just haven't implemented it yet.
