ldap authentication and protecting non-php files

[lmoser]

Hi, I want to be able to ldap authenticate directories using php. I've got that working -- the problem is that people can still get to non-php files by the url.
ColdFusion deals with this problem by using the <cfcontent> tag that references a file in a directory higher than the root. Is there anything similar in php? Or is there a php version of htaccess where I could pass the ldap authentication on to the htaccess file? One of the main reasons I want to do this is so that I can cut down on maintenance of usernames and passwords.

Thanks.

lmoser. I do not know the answer to this post but could you look at my ldap question in the Newbies forum and see if you can tell me what is wrong?

Yes, there are plenty of [man]filesystem[/man] functions. You could also use [man]include[/man] or one of its ilk to bring in PHP code from anywhere in your filesystem.
