note 117518 added to dir.constants

DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR is a lifesaver! A hacker must never know what php files you have included into your php webpages or your php scripts that javascript calls upon. If you were to use '/' to include a file, the hacker can instantly know that the file you included is there, however, if you use DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR then the hacker would not know the file has been included. ---- Server IP: 72.52.91.14 Probable Submitter: 78.144.189.164 ---- Manual Page -- http://php.net/manual/en/dir.constants.php Edit -- https://master.php.net/note/edit/117518 Del: integrated -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117518/integrated Del: useless -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117518/useless Del: bad code -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117518/bad+code Del: spam -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117518/spam Del: non-english -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117518/non-english Del: in docs -- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117518/in+docs Del: other reasons-- https://master.php.net/note/delete/117518 Reject -- https://master.php.net/note/reject/117518 Search -- https://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
