I'm trying to make a web site that it entirely XML/XSLT/PHP driven, without

However, since I need to reuse the database from my last web site, I had to
parse XML with PHP and save it as a file (e.g. xmlFile.xml) in my htdocs
folder in FTP. However, I understand that this can cause some security
issues such as someone just accessing the xml file from the htdocs folder.
Would it be the best way to just place the parsed/saved XML file in the
root
folder of the FTP server for security purposes? Root folder meaning, the
parent folder of htdocs, where it cannot be accessed normally through the
browser.
What you are suggesting would be the best way of making the file in
accessible from the web server.
But their is another ways. If you are running apache, you could setup
apache to not serve that file, or file type.
