I have the following url address: [a href=\"http://www.example.com/content/admin\" target=\"_blank\"]http://www.example.com/content/admin[/a] I have written a php login script which is required on all PHP pages. However, I would like to configure apache (.htaccess) to deny access to any files within the admin directory and sub directories (such as zips, images, etc.). I am confused on how to do this (after looking at Apaches web site). Any good examples to give?

I would like to call a PHP Function without having to reload the page (i.e. without using [i]GET[/i] or [i]POST[/i]) [u]Example[/u]: You click on a link and it performs a server-side function. Also, is there any good free scripts (javascripts) that create a text editor box like used on this forum?

I am interested in knowing how to securely block search bots and other web bots from reaching sensitive areas of my web site. I know that if you put a .htaccess file in a directory no web bot can touch that area. How to I impliment a similar setting or happening if I don't want .htaccess and have my own login script? All my pages have a script in the first lines of the document which check for login status from a cookie and if you are not logged in you are forced (through the header) to a login page). Any suggestions on this security issue? Do I need to clearify anything?

I have several PHP scripted pages which have a high sensitivity for Security (all them require user name/password). The script basically checks for a cookie, if not present or expired it redirects your browser to the login page. My question is how do you protect those pages from being searched by web crawlers and search engines? All the sensitive pages exist in the same directory.
