Re: [PHP] storing inc.php outside doc root/security/includes
I know how it works, I just want to know the error (or warning you get) example: *Warning*: Failed opening ... for inclusion (include_path='.:/php/includes:/usr/share/php') in */var/www/... *on line ... Also check if your $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] really corresponds to real filesystem path, for example on my system $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] is /www/htdocs, but /www/htdocs is only a symlink to /var/www/html, so I need to put sensitivedata.inc.php into /var/www/html. You might also have safe mode restrictions in effect. rolf vreijdenberger wrote: this is how it is done: include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../sensitivedata.inc.php'); explanation: suppose i have a file: www.mydomain.com/file.php on the server it could be : /home/sites/site168/web/file.php this file wants to include a file with sensitive data, (or just download some other files ) that should not be in the root (accessible via the web) so I store this files in this directory, one higher than the doc root /home/sites/site168/ like this /home/sites/site168/sensitivedata.inc.php it is now inaccesible via the web in a direct way, but not indirectly, through other php scripts. you include it in the way described above: include ($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/../sensitivedata.inc.php'); $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] quote php manual "The document root directory under which the current script is executing, as defined in the server's configuration file." hope to have helped you all -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php

hi,
I want to include a file that is one directory above my web document root on
the server.
eg. www.mydom.com/file.php wants to include a file that is one dir higher,
so that file is not accesible via the web.
how can I access this file, if I specify a include("../inc.php"); it doesn't
work.
I also want to use this for downloading files only via php scripts!
thanks
