Hi

Is there any other solution to dissable dir-snooping whith php other than PHP safe-mode ?

I dont want to set php on safe-mode, but I dont want that costumers go a round on the server whit a simpel script

I need to keep them in there own dir.


TNX.

Regards,
babak

One option would be to run PHP as a CGI and use suEXEC.

In fact, that and a combination of permissions and ownership are the only way to prevent it when using a web server, CGI and PHP. I agree with that solution and safe_mode isn't going to prevent directory snooping anyway.

Just use the Open_Basedir directive. Check your PHP manual for details.
