I'm pretty sure if you remove execute permission on the folder using chmod -- like 666 -- it will prevent any scripts from executing.
Test first though.

hi,
the chmod 666 option seems forbidden exciting .html files as well but i need to run .html files in those folders.
the http.conf option seems disable PHP globally. i.e not only in the intended folder
any idea pls

there should be a way using .htaccess to make php_engine off. Hope that helps

yes i have heard about that. someone told me to put below line in .htaccess file
AddType text/plain .php
but it didn't work for me.
I'm not sure whether i have to make any further modifications (like restarting the server etc..)
pls advice

No that is not correct I believe, simply adding following line in .htaccess should be enough and restart the apache
php_engine off or
php_flag engine off
one of the above should work

no luck with that. I'm wondering why it didn't work
dude81, have you tried that previously?
