Re: Security on Directory

Several options. 1. Use .htaccess, and then get rid of the PHP authentication. I think you still get $PHP_AUTH_USER or whatever that variable is. 2. Move all your non-PHP content outside the web-tree, and write a PHP script, with authentication, to serve those files up. I'm guessing mod_auth_mysql is not going to interact with PHP significantly differently from .htaccess. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daz" <clark.darren@btinternet.com> Newsgroups: php.general Sent: Monday, December 04, 2000 4:56 AM Subject: [PHP] Security on Directory > Hi all, > > I have developed a authentication system using php4 and mysql running on web > apache 1.3.
