Yes? Yep. If your PHP script can read the file, then any PHP script can read it. They all run as the same user. Again, this is assuming safe_mode is off. I think there are some things you can run along with PHP (maybe only in CGI mode) that'll stop this kind of thing from happening, though. I just don't know what they are...Sudo or something like that ???? ---John Holmes...
