Hi everyone,

Following is my problem that I'm trying to resolve but so far no luck. I did a search both in this forum and google but couldn't find anything.

I'm trying to create upload file feature where user can uplaod any of their file (as storage). So I would like to disable the PHP on this specific directory and its subdirectories. Is there any way I can disable php execution? If this possible how can I do it?

Thanks for your help.

You will also have to disabled ASP, CGI, JSP etc.

This has been talked about on this page - http://www.lunarforums.com/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic;f=1;t=000801

The easiest way to do what you want, is simply not allow the .php extension on files saved to your webspace.

A better way would be to exlusively allow only certain extinsions. If you are writeing the upload script, have it only allow the file extensions you want. This way when some new scripting technology comes out with .xxx extension, you don't have to update your script to disallow it.

Also, you may simply not be aware of all possible extensions that may pose a security threat.

Yes, good idea.

Then again, if a new scripting language were to be installed, lunarpages would tell you, but yes, I do see your point.
