Restricting PHP Execution

[Ben]

I am running Apache 1.3.33 and PHP 4.3.11. Is there a way, either via
httpd.conf or php.ini, to restrict which directories can be used for
the execution of PHP scripts similar to how you can restrict cgi
scripts to be allowed to run only if they are in a cgi-bin directory.

Thanks for the help!

Re: Restricting PHP Execution

In a Location or VirtualHost directive, in httpd.conf:
RemoveType .php
This removes the binding between .php files and the PHP interpreter.
People probably see the source of the php file. You can display it as
HTML by using:
AddType text/html .php

See the Apache documentation for more info on how to use
AddType/RemoveType.
