I just wanted to know if it is possible to deny access permissions for some of such scripts to a public user but not to other scripts staying on the same server. I see. In that case though this is not a php problem. This is a problem about setting the right permissions on your file system - for which you will need to refer to the documentation for chown and chmod. Your FTP server may also have what is known as a 'chroot' mode where users will be prevented from browsing outside their home folder. Having said all that we had a big discussion about a month ago on protecting scripts on a shared server and the generall consensus was that there is always a loop hole.

It's still not clear what you are describing/asking. I'll assume that by 'public user' you mean via FTP. If so then most ftp servers will allow you to restrict access to specified directories. -- Jason Wong -> Gremlins Associates -> www.gremlins.biz Open Source Software Systems Integrators * Web Design & Hosting * Internet & Intranet Applications Development * -- Search the list archives before you post http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=php-general -- /* I have a terrible headache, I was putting on toilet water and the lid fell. */ -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
