Protecting Flat File Databases
Posted: Mon Mar 21, 2005 6:53 am
Hello all. I am fairly new to programming in PHP, but I am learning quick. I have on concern though.
I wrote a script that would post information from a form to a CSV file. The file is CHMODed to 773, however, I am concerned about the security of this file. Is there a way to protect this file beyond the CHMODed setting of 733. I don't want ANYONE to access this file accepted for myself via FTP or through creating a script that will attach and email the file to me.
Any words of advice for this novice programmer?
Thanks!
