Include Files Folder - CHMOD Settings?


Currently, I have various php files in my "public" folder on my webserver. I also have "include" php files in a designated folder w/in my "public" folder (i used include("file")

Example: path files

public folder => index.php, products.php, aboutus.php, etc
public folder/include folder => includefile1.php, includefile2.php, etc

what CHMOD settings should i set... so that users cannot directly open my "include" files? and where do i set them? on the "include" folder? on the individual "include" files?

Php Include Files From A Folder
I want to make a folder filled with blog posts by date.  Each file will be like 20071113.php and 20071031.php basically the date they were written 2007, 10 for october, and 31 for the day.  But each will be notated like that so that the number is always increasing. 

How would I make a php include function as to take the last ten highest numbers and add it to a page? (Basically the last ten posts by date) and  How would I include more than one post per date?

CHMOD Security Settings
I have a webpage that some hacker managed to load a file onto. My website's help support suggested that I should not use chmod 0777 since it is not secure. However, I need to allow my site's visitors to open files & write information to them.

My question: Is there a setting that will allow site members to create, open, write to, and delete files using my pages but will not allow them to create their own pages outside of my control?

Php Email Attachment, Chmod Settings
I have a php script from Obie (link at bottom) which uploads a file to
the web server, then attaches it to an email, and sends it to a default
recipient.

This program requires setting a directory for the files to reside in
temporarily. What settings should I put this folder to to be most
secure, 755? 750? other? If the user is uploading, is that the
"world" permissions, or is that the "group" or "owner" permissions?
I'm not entirely sure how the upload in this script works, but it uses
the "open()" "fopen()" and "fread()" functions in there.

CHMOD Settings For PHP Image Upload

Viewing Image From A CHMOD Blocked Folder
How can I show an Image that is inside a folder which I've blocked using CHMOD?
The reason I've blocked the containing folder of the Image is so no one could enter the folder's URL and see ALL of the images in it.

For Example: I have a file that is viewing the "Dog" photo from the Blocked Folder "Private_Images". In that case I cannot view the dog's file because the "Private_Images" folder is blocked, but if I will remove the blocking from the folder, then anyone could view all of my other photos.

What CHMOD Do INC Files Need ?
I'm hosted on a Cobalt RAQ3 server and I'm going mad trying to make work (create, edit or delete) my INC files. I believe it depends maybe on the wrong CHMOD (664 as default also for my PHP4 files). What CHMOD do they need? And the related directories?

Include File In Parent Folder
I want to include a certain file that's in a parent folder.  For example, the file "config.php" is located in public_html/ and the file i'm including it in is in public_html/admin/  How do I include public_html/config.php in public_html/admin/index.php?

Including Files In Different Direcories That Include Files From Teirs
Okay, I made a simple AJAX shoutbox and I want to include it on all my pages. To insert the shoutbox I simply type <? include('/shoutbox/shoutbox.php');?> into my HTML page.

The problem is, that in /shoutbox/shoutbox.php I also include settings.php, functions.php, and some other files, and when I include /shoutbox/shoutbox.php into my index page, /shoutbox/shoutbox.php tries to call settings.php from the same folder that my index file is in, since I just 'included' it in index's source.

So my question is, is there any way, without using frames, to include a PHP file as it would be if you link directly to it in the address bar, but placed into another file in a different directory?

How Do I Hide Database Connection Files Using PHP Include Files?
I have the following at the beginning of the PHP page:

<?php require_once('Connections/conn.php'); ?>

I want to hide the connection file, "conn.php", so it's out of the web
accessible file structure. I understand putting them in the php include
directory shoudl do this. For example, let's say the directory I put them
in is /www/phpIN/, and /www/ht/ is the root web directory.

So I put "conn.php" in the inlcude directory (/www/phpIN/conn.php) and
removed it form CONNECTIONS directory.

Paging Of Folder Files
i have a form which has a select button when user clicks it a popup opens which shows all images in abc folder

Files And Folder Copying
I am trying to write a function to copy an existing folder and folder
structure but am already stuck.

What I want to do is the following:

Copy a default folder (default_folder) and all sub folders within it (down
to a possible 4 levels)
eg default folder
->subfolder1
->subfolder2
->sub subfolder1
->sub sub folder 2

I have a form where the user can enter the name of the new folder and an
option to confirm if they want to copy the files also located within the
default folder.
If the checkbox is not checked then copy just the folder structure only

Can this be acheived in one function or will it be based on 2 where a set of
empty folders are created and where the folders and files are copied over

What Is The Max PDF Files Allowed In A Folder?

Opening Files In The Same Folder..
I have a php file (1.php) that needs to open another php file (2.php) and parse it's output. 2.php gets it's data from an xml file and formats it in a pretty screen style. So what I need is something like: $fp = fopen ("2.php?file=file.xml","r"); but that wont work because there is no file called &#392;.php?file=file.xml' so how's it done?

Root Of Folder App Files
While I know putting a app into a folder was chiseled out of fine
scottish granite and carried upto the top of ben nevis by php newbies
many years ago - I dont think a folder is the best way to do it .

The fact a script is in a folder means certain instant problems if you
want to do certain things with .

Assuming a script doesnt have index.php and all the script files have a
filename prefix like phpgb_ then theres no chance of them clashing with
anything else and theres no real reason to continue using a folder for
the main script files .

While the script will have a app folder for various things - does it
make any sense not to use the root because of a single solitary file
called index.php .

phpgb_index.php is what I use and the method hasnt brought up a single
problem of any shape or description .

Gas lighting was once what everybody thought was the best way of doing
it until that darn new fangled electricity came along .

1 - 2 Millions Files In One Folder?
I have to store over a million files, 10 - 15 kb each, in one folder.
The files are created by my php script, sometimes the old files are
deleted and new ones are written.
So, basically on every connection my script reads/deletes/ writes files
from/to that folder.
Right now i have only around 300 000 files in that folder, and it feels
like its getting slower for that script to work. It does work at the
moment, but i am not sure what will happen when there is over a million
files there...
Are there any limits of files that can be stored in a folder?
Would it be better for me to use mysql? I am not sure how mysql will
cope with millions of writes/reads

How Does One Get A List Of All Files In A Folder?
need a list of all files (i have like 5k or so) in a folder, I need to add there names to a table

table 2. no comments added yet to uploaded pics (so they can be commented on GET IT?)  -unfinished pictures-

All the pictures are in a single folder for the time being i'm going to be making a form based on the pictures that are on table 2 so that they can have comments and titles and file name added to table 1 (to be done still) but i need to know all the file names for the folder in question, i guess i could do it via cmd line ls or something like that, i'll get back to you.

I Can Upload Files Anywhere Except My Remote Root Folder
Im working on a project with PHP that allows users to upload pictures to my server and then reference them. After going through some uploading tutorials I have the uploading part working Except! I cant upload folders to my remote root folder. I need to allow the users to upload somewhere inside the root folder so they can reference the pictures in code after.

Just to clarify the uploading works perfectly if I put the uploads folder anywhere on my computer except the sites remote root folder (or anywhere inside the root folder)
I also beleive I am giving the folder all of the proper permissions because I am giving the uploads folder in my root directory (the one that doesnt work) the same permissions as the one outside the root (the one that works) Code:

However, when I try to use <? include("file.inc"); ?> to output text that changes frequently, Nothing appears on the test setup described above. On the ISP setup it works like a dream.

PHP Include Files
I am looking for a better way to organize my include files. Currently, I have them in a folder, but in the pages that use them, I end up doing include statements for each file.

Include Files And Overhead
I have a medium sized ecommerce website which I have written using PHP and
MySQL and I have a number of include files with some of them being included
by all pages of the site and a few only included as and when required.

I was wondering if I could compile all my include files into one large
include and then include them from all pages or is this not advisable as the
include file alone could end up being around 1000 lines of code.

Would this have a noticeable affect on my server when serving up pages to
the Internet because of all the extra lines of code being imported into all
my PHP files?

What is the maximum number of lines that is recommended for an include file?
