I fail to see how the specific file permissions of a PHP script that is executed by the web server software has anything to do with protecting the end user from a virus or from spyware. The execution of a PHP script begins and ends on the web server. The output is sent to the requester for rendering, not further execution. Can you please explain a bit more? -- Greg Donald Zend Certified Engineer http://gdconsultants.com/ http://destiney.com/ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
