DylanD Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 I have a bunch of php scripts that get information from a database then mark it up in XML. I want to prevent random people from running these pages and being able to look at the XML. How do you accomplish this while still allowing my flex app to see them? Thanks in advance Dylan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burtybob Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 What about a basic form and code eg. if($_REQUEST[pass]!=USERSCHOSENPW && $_REQUEST[user]!=USERSCHOSENUSER){ die(); } else { //echo } ?> <html> <form action="" method=post> <input type=password name=pass> <input type=text name=user> <form> BTW i did leave the textbox without any labels any purpose as it increses security a pinch as a person wont know which is which although i wouldnt recomend that on a client side login.

cooldude832 Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 if you only need the data from a database, just make it be on demand and password protect the page some how Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
otuatail Posted November 2, 2007 Share Posted November 2, 2007 Can't see how anyone can view the PHP part as the server only dishes up the HTML. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
