If you know you are running on an apache server, you could try using a simple .htaccess file in a (say) etc directory which contains any or all files you wish to secure.
ie: /index.php /etc/config.php /etc/.htaccess --index.php-------- <?php include("etc/config.php"); ... ?> --etc/config.php-------- $config['db_host']="sql"; $config['db_name']="root"; $config['db_pass']="hooray"; ?> --etc/.htaccess-------- deny from all And that's it!
