Does anyone know a good way to protect a directory that a php script NEEDS
to write too?
What I'm doing now:
1. create a directory manually "myDir"
2. chmod 777 myDir
3. password protect the directory with htaccess
Is this the best way, or is there something better?
Also, is there a way to mkdir or fopen a file dynamically, without
pre-creating a directory with 777 permissions?
Thanks for the help,
Andrew
Along with what Richard said, you could also move the directory outside of the webroot and not have
to worry about the .htaccess file. Nothing but PHP could access the directory contents, and only
through your interface could it be access.
