Hi Guys,

I'm going to be linking PHP with a fairly sizable Access database but was wondering how I could stop users directly linking too it, to avoid them trying to actually download the mdb file itself. If I set directory permissions, would that stop the PHP-Access connection, or just users successfully downloading the file? The file would include passwords hence my thinking.

Thanks

Place the Access db outside of the web root, or use an ..htaccess file (or equivalent) to make it inaccessible.
