    I am very new to cpanel and need some resolving some of my issues. Specifically i am addressing the ability for the .htaccess file to run php code. Should I have this disabled. Right now in my file i see.

    Code:
    IndexIgnore .htaccess */.??* *~ *# */HEADER* */README* */_vti*
    Current setting for PHP is suphp running php 5 and apache sEXEC is on.

    what does this exactly mean to me. I know it ignores those files but what does that mean for the server setup. Is it safe to have a .htaccess file to be able to run php? What would you recommend and why?

    Thanks for the help,
    Tank

    This is not PHP code in the .htaccess file. It's Apache directives and regex. PHP code cannot run in .htaccess files, but Apache directives can be placed into the .htaccess file.

    Thanks you for the reply. So when would i want to be able to run PHP code in the .htaccess file. Do other hosting providers allow their customers to use PHP code.

    You cannot run PHP code in the .htaccess file. It is for Apache directives.
