Question

Just very quick question about php.ini file. I created my own on my php.ini file and it works fine if I put it inside my ‘public_html’ directory. However the problem is it can obviously be viewed in browser through HTTP requests.

So, I am trying to move it outside my ‘public_html’ directory however it does not seem to work when outside my ‘public_html’.

I know I could perhaps set in my .htaccess the following to avoid it being read:

<Files php.ini>
  Order allow,deny
  Deny from all
</Files>

However I do not want to do this as my php.ini can still get cached by Google if it’s in the ‘public_html’ directory. Is there any suggestions to make it work outside my public_html?

I am running an Apache server. Thanks for any suggestions

Answer 1

It can’t get cached by google if you block like that in .htaccess
