Hi Bob
Are you concerned that he would be able to access the DB directly in FMPro, or
that he’d make his own PHP (or XML) pages to access the data?
If it’s the former, then if the Privilege Set of that account is set to only
have “(fmphp)” extended privileges — and not “(fmapp)” — then he would not be
able to open the DB in FMP.

It just occurred to me that he could do the same thing and retrieve the
password.
SO…
I’m triggering a shell script, and I don’t want the client to see the server
root password.
How could I hide the password so that this page can use it, yet the client
(who has access to the calling page) cannot?
Probably not doable.

OK guys, have a (probably) simple question:
I have a PHP page that needs to use a password; the issue is that my client
can see these PHP pages, and this isn’t a password I want him to see.
So I thought that I could put a page in my website (which he doesn’t have
any access to), and then INCLUDE or REQUIRE it in his page.
First question:
When I use my website’s entire URL (http://www.longtermsolutions.com ;
<http://www.longtermsolutions.com/> plus the location of the file) in an
include, like this
include_once('http://www.longtermsolutions.com/thefolder/thefile ;
<http://www.longtermsolutions.com/thefolder/thefile>.php');
I don’t get anything back.
Is it even legal to use a URL? If I try using a header
header('Location: http://www.longtermsolutions.com/thefolder/thefile ;
<http://www.longtermsolutions.com/thefolder/thefile>.php');
I’m also not getting back what I expect.
How would I do what I’m trying to do?
Thanks,
Bob Patin
