Laying out of Web server

[mattaseymour]

Hi all,

Im new to web development and would like some advice on something i have been wondering about for some time now.

Im looking to build a site which will have some interaction using PHP. What is the best way to layout the files on the web server? Should the php be in its own file? should this file be htaccess protected?

If someone could shed some light on this or point me to a website which has a good tutorial it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Yor php file would contain the server side code which when accessed by the browser make the server provess the phpcode within the php files thus creating a html output.

Your php files will need to be in the public_html or any sub folder within the public_html for people to access them from your website.

Search google for php tutorials, I am sure you will find a useful tutorial which will explain this in more details then i can here.

thanks
Gary
