keeping a csv.txt file safe

Hi guys/gals quick question. Im have a php form which when submitted enters all the entries into a csv.txt file.

My question is this csv file should only be visible by admins.. at the moment anyone who broswes to [url]www.mydomain.com/csv.txt[/url] would be able to view this csv file.

How can I prevent this from happening? Cheers in adavnce for your help

@NogDogNov 07.2005 — One thing you can do is put the CSV file in a directory which is not within the public HTML directories. For instance, on a UNIX/Linux system, you might have your PHP page in the /srv/www/htdocs/ directory area (which is the document root for HTTP requests), but you could have the CSV file in a /home/yourname/CSV/ directory. (You will need to ensure that the user under which the webserver runs the PHP script will have read (and write if needed) access to the CSV directory and file.)

Success!
