Re: Protecting include files

If someone wants to call your .inc file like http://www.my.site/lib.inc they will see the code, as it is a text file. OK, we all know that. As the .inc file is in reality a renamed php script, containing variables, functions, etc, if you call it .php instead of .inc, it will be parsed by PHP, but as you have no output (echo or print() ), you will just see a blank page. To illustrate better, I use a large (20k) PHP library on my site. It was called stdlib.inc, but because of the problem listing .inc files, I renamed it stdlib.php. If you want to test, look here. You should only see a blank page, and not 1200 lines of code! http://www.dlpage.com/lib/stdlib.php Cheers, Daniel "Sid" <cyco_sid@phreaker.net> a écrit dans le message news: 5.0.2.1.2.20000814075725.009f3790@pop.phreaker.net... > Hi, > > I have a php script which includes .inc files.
