i couldn't get my host tech support to figure out how to change my PHP core local value for open_basedir to no value
so i tried this code at the very top of my products page
<?php
ini_set('open_basedir','off');
?>
It Worked!
here is my very first shopping cart with WebAssist eCart4

thanks for your help,
