Done, outside the webby is the goer, then i dont have to worry this the hassle of getting a simple allowovedrride rule in the fukn conf file, which has seem to be a simple process i could do but then a complicated process with all the politics :\
The server is dedicated work serve their own servers. Just that its public accessable and that its private documents and that there are htaccess hacking tools out there scares me heheh. -----Original Message----- From: Richard Davey [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 20, 2004 9:48 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [PHP] Advice Needed Hello daniel, Friday, February 20, 2004, 6:10:28 AM, you wrote: deo> Hi there, i have finally built a project space for work, its a collaborate deo> space for storing important key documents (not public), what is the best deo> way to store these, outside the web directory or would it be safe within a deo> htaccess protected directory ?

If you're going to open the files via fopen on the local filesystem, your htaccess settings have no implication on this at all. For files like this I store them outside of the web root and fopen them from my PHP script and stream them to the browser. That is on a dedicated server where I know no-one has access to the directory they are stored in and it can never be found via the web server. Your mileage may vary. -- Best regards, Richard Davey http://www.phpcommunity.org/wiki/296.html -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
