php_flag safe_mode off
php_flag open_basedir off
php_value open_basedir none

This is one of the best comment's I've read in the PHP.Net manual. It explains why the issue is occurring, but not necessarily why.

When you use php_flag or php_value to change a setting, you are not changing the setting at the heart of PHP, rather at runtime. As a result, some settings cannot be detected or decoded by 3rd party API's or extensions.

You need to either make a hard change to your php.ini file, remove the open_basedir directive or use the 3rd party function included in the link above.
