Hi, I'm very new to php. One thing I noticed in order to run the php program (on a linux server) I need to set the read permission for Other. In this program I'll have the MySQL credentials defined. Are there are any security concerns when the read permission is set like this. Wouldn't it be better if the permission was set for user only and the php engine could run the program as user like one can do for cgi using suEXEC. Couldn't one write a program to remotely read the contents of the file. Thank-you David J. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
