Proper location of HTML and PHP?
|
demo 19 Dec 2008 09:13am I have a website that will (among other things) use PHP scripts to enter and retrieve data from a MySQL database. Should the PHP scripts be placed in the cgi-bin or can/should they be located in the htdocs along with my HTML content? |

demo 19 Dec 2008 09:43am Depends what the PHP scripts do. Normally you would want to come up with your old framework and keep only the files that need to be accessed by the public (ie the web) inside your web accessible folder. You wouldn't want to place any scripts there, configuration data and potentially classes unless you ensured that your web server did not serve those files up, otherwise people could piggyback off your scripts. |
