I have moved my website to another hosting server. However, there is a little problem with fopen() function. Every time it is run, it is resulting with the following error:
Warning: file_exists() [function.file-exists]: open_basedir
restriction in effect.
File(/home/www-virtual/www-username/www/bindata/gallery/GAL34e81b4adce22091c6ee31c71055e181.jpg)
is not within the allowed path(s):
(/www/default/www:/www/username_www:/tmp:/usr/local/lib/php:/usr/local/php-5.2/lib)
in /www/username_www/www/frontend/gallery/GalleryPage.php5 on line 112
I can't do anything with the PHP script because it is ionCube encoded.
What is left to do then?

Change hosting companies now!
If they can't configure open_basedir correctly who know what other horrors lie in wait (yes, it might be valid for them to apply a blanket restriction - but if that were the case here why have they included someone else's dir in the whitelist).
