RE: [PHP] Protecting files

If you want to hide the content of an .inc or other file that contains PHP code simply rename it with a .php ie: config.inc becomes config.inc.php the server will parse the file as PHP now and not allow users to download it... Alternatively you can protect a directory with a .htaccess file if you are using apache.
