Enable suPHP for that site and use "Web Ownership" to chown the /web of
the site to the UID of a siteAdmin of that site. That will also create a
php.ini with the correct open_basedir entries in
/home/.sites/143/site2/php.ini

Then to run that script from the command line, tell the PHP interpreter
to use the sites separate php.ini file like this:

php -c /home/.sites/143/site2/php.ini your-script.php

That ought to work.
