Question

How do I fix this so my script will work.

Getting this error:

Warning: curl_setopt() [function.curl-setopt]: CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION cannot be activated when in safe_mode or an open_basedir is set in /home/halogam1/public_html/xbox.check/xbox.class.php on line 137

Then I ran this script to debug:

<?php
echo ini_get('safe_mode');

var_dump(ini_get('open_basedir'));
?>

Output:

1string(0) ""

I’m not sure what you are asking but it does look like safe mode is enabled for you.

See the comments on http://php.net/manual/en/function.curl-setopt.php

The appropriate snip is:

…then you will want to read http://www.php.net/ChangeLog-4.php which
says “Disabled CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION in curl when open_basedir or
safe_mode are enabled.” as of PHP 4.4.4/5.1.5. This is due to the
fact that curl is not part of PHP and doesn’t know the values of
open_basedir or safe_mode, so you could comprimise your webserver
operating in safe_mode by redirecting (using header(‘Location: …’))
to “file://” urls, which curl would have gladly retrieved.
