Personally, I prefer having my code outside the DocumentRoot also, but I do not believe it is the simplest solution, and I do not think it is "wrong" to place such information within the DocumentRoot.

Are we just discussing semantics then? I agree it's not wrong as such, but right and wrong are usually determined by the environment one is in and in a security-aware environment (such as I know them), letting the webserver write to the DocumentRoot would be wrong. Elsewhere it is perhaps at worst ill-advised.
I prefer "proceed with caution" :) Cheers, Rob. -- http://www.interjinn.com Application and Templating Framework for PHP
