Michael,

Perhaps all that's needed is to add a runtime php setting for open_basedir
to the virtual container (/etc/httpd/conf/vhosts/site??)? This might be a
better way to make site-specific adjustments to php.ini settings rather than
handing off global control of php.ini. I imagine site control to be like
cascading style sheets - where you have global settings for php (php.ini)
setting the server wide defaults, and the runtime settings modifying an
allowed subset of these on a per-site basis.

	Thanks,
