    XML with PHP permissions

    Hi All

    I am playing around with the idea of writing a xml based cms, and would like
    it to be able to be used on hostings where you do not have the ability to
    password protect directories.

    Would a simple permissions check at the top of the file be enough to enure
    it is not read?

    <?

    if( ! authentication check){exit();}

    ?>

    If I then call all my xml files say abc.xml.php they would not be able to be
    viewed externally. Say I then read in the files, and replaced the
    authentication with empty ''

    Is that likely to work? If so should I put the <? xml version="1.0"> before
    or after?

    If no, any better suggestions?

    email replies to spam[at]lykoszine.co.uk if possible

    replacing [at] with the usual...
