Hi, Database mean that way of handling information in an ordered way, this is the simplest explanation I know.
And an example for a database (handler) with built-in access control is MySQL, you can read more about MySQL at http://www.mysql.com and an example of a database handler with not such good access control is Microsoft Access Enrique García Briones -----Mensaje original----- De: Voytsekhovskyy Alexander [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Enviado el: Martes, 09 de Marzo de 2004 09:53 a.m. Para: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Asunto: [PHP-DOC] Question about security Goog day. During translation http://www.php.net/manual/en/security.apache.php to my language, i have some problems with understanding some moments: ------------ When PHP is used as an Apache module it inherits Apache's user permissions (typically those of the "nobody" user). This has several impacts on security and authorization. For example, if you are using PHP to access a database, unless that database has built-in access control, you will have to make the database accessible to the "nobody" user. This means a malicious script could access and modify the database, even without a username and password. It's entirely possible that a web spider could stumble across a database administrator's web page, and drop all of your databases. You can protect against this with Apache authorization, or you can design your own access model using LDAP, .htaccess files, etc. and include that code as part of your PHP scripts. ------------ What databases need to mean? text files? And some impossible to understand about atypical autorization? Sorry for my english. -- С уважением, Voytsekhovskyy mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
