RE: [PHP] Q: Hiding Folder Directories from public while still...

Actually it wouldn't be overkill or big...its really a small quick file to setup...if you just put the index file in there, someone won't be able to get a directory listing, but they'll still have access to your files...if you put the htaccess file in there, they're secure... jack -----Original Message----- From: Marcus James Christian [mailto:marcus@mjchristianunlimited.com] Sent: Saturday, August 04, 2001 4:05 PM To: php-general@lists.php.net Subject: Re: [PHP] Q: Hiding Folder Directories from public while still... Hmm so lets say in my "images" folder for the site if I just put an index somewhere in there it prevents access? Man that would be so cool. I really don't need some big security thing happening with .htaccess etc, that would be way overkill thanks, Marcus Jon Yaggie wrote: > i dont know if this is elagant but ti works. but a fake index.htmlin your > directory for browsers to default to. . .. > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Marcus James Christian" <marcus@mjchristianunlimited.com> > To: <php-general@lists.php.net> > Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 12:30 AM > Subject: [PHP] Q: Hiding Folder Directories from public while still... > > > Hello, > > > > How does one do the trick of hiding a folder's directory listing from a > > public browser? > > > > i.e. Lets say the full address is www.mysite.com/php/magicphppage.php > > > > Well I still need some other files to read and write to > > magicphppage.php I don't want the public to be able to simply type > > www.mysite.com/php/ and have all of my php files show up on a funky > > "virtual directory". > > > > Thanks, > > Marcus > > > > -- > > Marcus James Christian - UNLIMITED - > > Multimedia Internet Design > > http://mjchristianunlimited.com > > > > Proudly presents the music of CHROMATICUS > > at http://chromaticus.com > > and http://artists.mp3s.com/artists/275/chromaticus.html > > > > > > > > -- > > PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) > > To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net > > For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net > > To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net -- Marcus James Christian -- UNLIMITED Multimedia Internet Design http://mjchristianunlimited.com -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: php-general-unsubscribe@lists.php.net For additional commands, e-mail: php-general-help@lists.php.net To contact the list administrators, e-mail: php-list-admin@lists.php.net
