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 .

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:

Cron Job Creating Backup Files In Root Folder On Server
In root folder of my server, I see files like optimize.php.95(optimize.php is the file name we added for cron); files go from .1 and upward. Also happens for other files, seemingly related to the cron jobs we are running. When I open and download the files, there is no content in the files. Do you know what is causing these files to be created? I think they are harmless, except that I think it prevents us from seeing backups generated in root folder, as ftp only allows so many files to be listed. For example, I created a recent backup, but cant seem to find it in the root folder using ftp (I think because these files are crowding out the backups from being listed). Are these files unnecessary? How do we eliminate these files to be created.

Determining FTP Root Folder From Path?
I have been working on a GUI web photo album for *nix. I had thought it might be workable for users to open a browser based FTP session to upload pics to a newly created album directory. The problem I am having is opening the FTP session in the new folder. I.E. we have just created images/myAlbum1. Using realpath(.) we get /home/someUser/public_html/images/myAlbum1 . Unfortunately the browser based FTP wants the site root not the server root and the connection fails. Is there a reliable way to determine site root from path? I don't want to regex the path for /www and /public_html, seems like that would be rash...

Accessing Files Outside Of The Web Root
Anyone got any pointers for a script and/or advice for accessing files that are outwith the root directory. I am using Apache on WIN2K Server (a box which is also running IIS on port 81). I want user to be able to select a file and have a script verify their security clearance level (although I have this part worked out already) and then to supply a relative url from the web page they are on - out of the web root - to the file in question. I have been toying with the 'realpath' function but to no avail thus far. I have tried using the path: ../../../files/{filename} where the path to the web root (from the page in question) is ../../../ on my notebook (running WINXP Pro and same version Apache and PHP this works fine) but on the production server it cannot find the path outwith the server root.

PHP Files Only Run In Root Directory?
I've installed a php forum script under a directory named 'forum', the script ran with no problems untill about a week ago, but now I get the following error: 'You don't have permission to access /forum/index.php on this server.' Its has nothing to do with CMOD, I've tried that. Worst still it's not just the forum it's any PHP file thats under a directory. The thing is, I can run a PHP file from the root directory, but for some reason can't run the same file under another directory. eg www.mywebsite/testfile.php --- will work fine www.mywebsite/newdirectory/testfile.php --- causes permission error Could it be a .htaccess problem? Heres my error log report: Options ExecCGI is off in this directory: /home/mywebsite/public_html/forum/index.php P.S The forum script dosn't use CGI?

As a result, how would I make a link to my J: drive (which is outside my web root) so people could download this video? Would I need a php script?

.tmp Files Being Placed In The Root Directory By The 100's, Want It To Stop
Hi folks, I have a bit of a problem, perhaps one of you knows what is going on. According to the sys admin at my ISP, something from my site (which is entirely php) is saving 100's of tiny files with the extension .tmp into the root directory on the server where my site is located. He doesn't know very much about PHP and neither do I (this is the first site I've ever produced using it) so neither of us knows what could be causing it, there is one other site hosted on that server that is running PHP and it is doing the same thing, although the lion's share of temporary files are coming from my site. I have a copy of the php.ini file that he emailed to me this morning, if it would help to post it please let me know and I will do so. We are not sure what is going on, but we would like to know if there is some way to make it stop (or at the very least, to get these files to destroy themselves once they're no longer usefull) Also: I would like to thank SilkySmooth for his mail script, I used it awhile back and it got the job done. Thanks so much!

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

What's Your Folder Structure For Your Files?
So, I'm looking to get started on my first application, and my first question is about folder structure on the server and what are the best practices? When I create static content today, I create one folder per page usually to keep things organized. Any components are included in the related folder, and global components are added to a top level components folder. I realize the dynamics of PHP will reduce the need for hundreds of pages, and that's why I'm excited to learn this language. However, I still need to keep even the dynamic PHP files and components organized. I've seen some sites, where people put all their PHP files on the top level folder. Just wanted to get your feedback on how you guys keep your server folder structure organized?

Security Of Files In A Folder
I'm creating a database for old tests that people have taken. The tests are scanned in and stored in a folder on my server.

Everything works dandy except for the fact that people can directly link to a. pdf file (a huge security risk). Also, if I don't password protect the directory of the pdf files, can webcrawlers find the information and store it in their search database?
