Re: [PHP] Access rights for php files on Linux? From: Michael Geier (mgeier <email protected>)
Date: 12/18/01

Use include files to pass your authentication information.

<?
include('auth.php');
?>

auth.php:
<?
$username="foo";
$password="bar";
?>

put auth.php in your home directory with you as owner and apache group id
as group, or create a group that contains you and apache user (probably
'nobody').

$> chmod 740 /your/home/dir/auth.php
