extension does not care about open_basedir

if (0 != access(db_file, R_OK)) {

Access is a very low level file operation. Not all low level accesses to database files should be authorized.
Going from Userland php to extension is no issue, but the reverse could cause some open_basedir errors. Database path could be passed from userland (so can sometimes be accessed by attackers) so internal path access php checks are mandatory.
