How to disable PHP scripts execution in 777 folders

Hello

I have a 777 folder in which users upload files. I want to block execution of maliscious scripts such as PHP or Perl. How can I do this?

Thanks

Filter the uploads by extension.

 

But what about if the hack.php file is uploaded as hack.php.01?

 

It will not run. The server is usually configured to run ".php", ".php3", ".pl".

 

place a .htaccess file in the dir you want to deny script execution with this

AddHandler cgi-script .php .pl .jsp .asp .sh .cgi
Options -ExecCGI

 

yea the only way I can think to do it is with .htaccess

 

You've got nice answers here, +1 for this one:

And since your are accepting uploads I would recommend they you be veru cautious with file names, and refuse files that start with a dot "."

 

That didn't work

 

What hosting company and hosting plan are you using?

 

Thanks for all the help!

I found my problem, please close the thread.
