In a typical PHP exploit scenario, the attacker could merely add a
null byte ("%00") to the phpbb_root_path parameter, which would then
cause the include call to ignore this extra file tree/name
information.  Is there some reason why a null byte wouldn't work in
this situation?

You would basically just need to add ?& to the end of the http get
request as so if your including a remote file, since you would be
placing the remaining file tree as a variable name.

Using a null byte should work if magic_quotes = off.
