directly to private/includefile.php can run the script
without authorising themselves...
Is it possible to set folder permission such that files
inside it cant be open directly but could be included?
Can you just give read permissions -only- to the user that PHP runs as
and
not these other users?

Just put these kinda directives outside webscope, I.E.:
/home/USER/public_html/
/home/USER/private/

Re: [PHP] Setting permissions such that file can be included but not open directly

2005-04-15 Thread Philip Hallstrom
I use a page to authorize a user and based on certain criterias (user group 
etc) include a file in another directory (named private)... Everything is 
working fine but the problem is anyone goign directly to 
private/includefile.php can run the script without authorising themselves...

Is it possible to set folder permission such that files inside it cant be 
open directly but could be included?

Configure apache to not allow access to the private directory... That will 
stop web browsers from getting there, but still allow your php script to 
include() a file within it.

Something like the below if you're using apache.  Other servers have
similar functionality...

Order deny,allow
Deny from all

In private/.htaccess put:
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all

Can you just give read permissions -only- to the user that PHP runs as and
not these other users?
