File permission / Access to view the script Question

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:
Dec 12.2011

Hi all,

I have a php page that includes another php pages containing my database login information, and I noticed that it won’t work if the permission was 700 (Read, write, and exe only to the user). It only works when the other gets read permission, like below:

[CODE]-rwx—r–[/CODE]

So, my question is: Since it is accessible to all the people on the internet, is it readable such as anyone could open up and read the php code? I know that when we right click on a browser to see the html source code, we won’t see the php code. But I am not sure if there are ways to get the php source code..

Regards,
Dhimoet

If you're on a LAMP stack, your code is interpreted by php then passed to apache to the user as texthtml. However, If your apache confs are configured incorrectly, then the php source code can be revealed for all to see.

Could you tell me specifically the corresponding configuration for the thing you mentioned?
