.htaccess protection

[Anon]

hi there.

i got a php script which imports txt files into sql db.
whenever i protect the script by puttin a .htaccess file to its folder i got an error echo.
(the index file of my folder makes the user move to another file, that couldn´t be opened when the folder is protected somehow.)
Note: the script is running well without protection. Can anybody help my protect my script ?

thx for advance

It's hard to say what you're doing wrong without any code.

Another thing you might consider is to place your php script outside your www folder. That way, nobody can access it from the web using http protocol.

You can then include() the script into your documents.

For this to work, change include_path in your php.ini file to the directory where you placed the php scripts.
