Hi,
I built a homepage. Some folders/pages should be no-accessible to visitors. Could someone show me a simple php script to do this.
Thanks.

Also I find this handy if I want to completely block users from viewing the contents of a folder; just put deny from all in a .htaccess file to block all users! 
This is great for a folder that contains include files that are included by other scripts but are never seen directly

Hi Gary,
Thanks for your help. I tried .htaccess, but it did not work. Once I set it up, I could not access mysql. Any attempt was refused by mysql. I tried different php code, and none of them worked. Then I switched my apache server to abyss server. Now I can easily access mysql. The problem is that abyss appears not support .htaccess. It will be greatly appreciated if you would help me set this protection up.
Thank you very much.

With .htaccess a little trick learned is to use:
IndexIgnore *.php
You can use things other than php but basically this hides all files from being seen in a directory if they have a .php extension. You can still open them however, so this should only really be used to hide rather than to block.

Interesting, thanks YoungCoder If I had the time, I would look through the whole Apache doc to learn more things - but sadly, I don't :p
