Protect Your PHP Pages in CGI Mode

Tuesday, June 9th, 2009

One of our clients is running PHP in CGI mode. He had trouble to protect the PHP pages in a protected folder. It is caused by the way Apache handles PHP request when PHP is run in CGI mode. Since Apache will send any PHP based request directly to the PHP executable, folder and link protections do not work on PHP pages in this case.

If you are running PHP as a CGI binary and not in library mode, you need to put a few lines of PHP script at the beginning of the PHP pages you would like to protect. You can get the code from How to Protect a PHP Page.

We re-designed our website style last week. The new design is more clear and accessible. Please feel free to leave a comment about our new design.

The whole process took us a couple of days. When we had the new design, we  developed the new templates for WebMember, Joomla, WordPress and PHPBB3. Then we tested the templates on our local server. The installation process was simple and quick. It only took us a few minutes to install and apply the templates of the four systems. If you need some help on developing your own templates, please contact us.
