Custom php.ini for open_basedir

[WebMasterAJ]

Hello,

In vB, I need for it to be able to upload files OUTSIDE of the current directory. However, when I try this I get this error:
Warning: copy(): open_basedir restriction in effect.

I've tried reading up on that, but I've come up empty.

I need for the following directory:
/home/httpd/vhosts/finheaven.com/httpdocs

To be able to access this directory:
/usr/local/www/htdocs

Is this possible? I believe it is, but I just don't know how.

Thank you for your time.

Sincerely,
AJ
