[SOLVED] Readable file only by PHP

Issue

I have another question:

when i write localhost/folder/file.txt into browser, it opens and show the content of file.txt.

But I want make this file readable only by PHP, not by browser.

I tried everything with chmod but it doesn't work. Is it possible to do that?

Thanks

Solution

You could refuse access to the .txt extension.

.htaccess

# prevent viewing of a specific file
<Files file.txt>
 order allow,deny
 deny from all
</Files>

# multiple file types
<FilesMatch ".(htaccess|htpasswd|ini|phps|fla|psd|log|sh|txt)$">
 Order Allow,Deny
 Deny from all
</FilesMatch>
