Hi By using .inc you can be sure they will not get executed out of context which can be dangerous, but also you should add this to apache config to stop them being delivered as plain text which can also be dangerous. I don't know about IIS but I guess they have something similar. <FilesMatch "\.(inc)$">

    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all

</FilesMatch> Tom At 06:10 PM 19/04/2002, you wrote:
