Hi everyone,
Been doing some reading on security and have decided that I should
be storing my include files outside of the document root... Which I
understand how to do it, but what I'm wondering, is say I write
the Next Killer App (tm). How would I port that code easily off of
my server and put it into a downloadable file for the millions of
people who will download and run the Next Killer App (tm)?
Err... That doesn't make it very clear... Is there a program for
Macintosh or Unix that I could use to grab all the source code from
where ever I have it set? Or would I need to make my own? Or
should I just quit being lazy and grab it my self? :)
Yes I know I'm answering my own post... :)
Thanks for all the suggestions that I received! It's helped me figure
out some of the stuff, and now I just need a project to test some of
the stuff with!
Oh, and for an IDE I discovered that Apple XCode works very well as a
php editor and file management system. Looks like it will work
perfectly!
I do have 2 questions though...
#1. When including files outside of the webroot do you need to specify
the entire path? Like for me, that would be something like:
"/volumes/raider/webserver/includes/projectname/includeme.php" or can I
just stop at: "/webserver/includes/projectname/includeme.php"?
It depends.
If you set your include_path to /webserver/includes (outside your webroot)
Then you can include the files like include "projectname/includeme.php";
If the files are not in your include_path you either need to provide
the full path. Or set the include path in your application and go from
there.
#2. Anyone got any small programming jobs that I can hone my skills
with? :) You know, the kind of projects that you guru's don't want to
do because you're too busy writting the Next Killer App (tm) but would
be perfect learning experience/easy way to put some cash in the pocket?
:)
Can't help you with this one :)
