Re: Re: The secrecy of PHP code

its a problem because the code is not compiled into binary file, and then every one who can browse the directory ( using ftp for example ) can view your code. To prevent this ( as root ) I chroot every user that log to ftp to another directory so they cant go out and browse the /etc /php-directories or what ever. The problem still stays if you open php to system commands like `echo /etc/passwd` or using system() .... -------------------------- Canaan Surfing Ltd.
