.htaccess

[Anon]

Hello, just some security questions here, I am new so I want to make sure that this works the first time. Is .htaccess adequate protection for a update/delete php page that i have setup for my database sites with mysql? OR do i also need to use md5() or another encrytption method ? thanks...

Only you can answer the question as to whether a security method is adequate for your site or not.

<b>.htaccess</b> will only be refrencing the passwords that you put in to <b>.htpasswd</b> which will already be encrypted (if your installation is normal).

If you want higher levels of security, you will probably want to go the <b>ssl/https</b> route.
