.htaccess rant

talk random

Here’s my small dilemma.

I need to write a file via php that is only accessible from files on the same server.

ie; a swf/php file on the same server can access that file, and write that file - but noone and nothing else.

chmod won’t really do anything for me here, since the “owner” won’t really be apache. (webserver).

I was thinking this though, in .htaccess … would that work?


<Files securefile.pxx>
    order deny,allow
    deny from all
    allow from xx.xx.xx.xx
</Files>

Since apache will always be allowed it’s own content, wouldn’t that fly?

Sorry to post a question I could answer myself.

It works fine. Can delete this thread I guess ; )
