Re: security

I realize this is old, but I was just reading through it and noticed there were not many suggestions. My idea would be to have a directory which is in a non-publically viewable place that you can refer to in an include, like include "/home/nobodyseesthisfolder/secret file" It should bomb when it can't find the file. Now that's not the only thing you can do, because anybody with total server access to their own box can put that file in place, and possibly work around the issue. So I suggest putting some of your core functions in a file in the same folder, that way the program really can't run without that file.
