I jsut finished my first real php site and want to make sure there's nothing I left out as far as unauthorized people getting to my php code and MySQL data. I'm on a shared server (virtual domains on a web host). As far as I know the domains are kept from looking at each other with .htaccess (which I know isn't perfect, but should stop casual snoops). I have the php code that connects to the database (and contains my MySQL username, password, and database name) inside an include file which is stored in a subdirectory of my cgi-bin directory, and that subdirectory is password protected (again, .htaccess). The rest of the php is just in the pages spread throughout the web accessable folders. The only other thing I could come up with is to put all of the page content (for all pages) inside include files that are in a password protected folder and the public files contain nothing but one include statement each, but this seems to be getting too paranoid. Since this is a shared server, I don't have access to configuring php or MySQL (and the host is too large and accounts too cheap to ask for anything special in that vein). Is this about as good as I can do for security? ...Dave -------------------- To send e-mail to me replace the domain name with djdesign.com The phony "anti.spam" domain is used to fool newsgroup e-mail address harvestor 'bots. ----------------------
