OM2 Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 I had a thought: if I put my XML code inside of a PHP file, then that would protect it from ever being seen? I can't think why it wouldn't be a good idea! Or surely there's got to be more to it than that? Thanks OM Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147646-how-to-hide-your-xml-file-put-inside-a-php-file/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

premiso Posted March 2, 2009 Share Posted March 2, 2009 The only way that would work is if you set your page up for an if statement then pass data via GET or POST to it to display it. But anyone who can guess that can view it. But since XML needs to be read, you have to echo it out to the page, or else it is really useless. What are you trying to accomplish exactly?

br0ken Posted March 3, 2009 Share Posted March 3, 2009 You could store your XML files outside of your http directory? Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/147646-how-to-hide-your-xml-file-put-inside-a-php-file/#findComment-775162 Share on other sites More sharing options...
