How to restrict opendir from going past root folder?

Question

I am trying to simulate shared hosting on my local server by blocking off the root directory.

I've tried:

<Directory "C:/xampp/htdocs/root">
Options -Indexes
</Directory>

in httpd.conf (restarted Apache)

and

Options -Indexes

in the .htaccess of htdocs.

What do I need to do to restrict opendir from accessing beyond this folder?

You need to use open_basedir in the config file

aha! the examples I found excluded the path in quotes. Works like a charm now, thanks. – Casey Dwayne Apr 10 '14 at 22:19
