I need to count impressions of a .php script that is accessed via web. Right now I do this in a 1 line MySQL table and just increment the value. This works fine usually but when the server has traffic bursts (hundreds of requests/second) everything gets delayed and the increment SQL statements start to pop up in MySQL’s slow queries log. I tried to count via APC but it “loses” values, that is, when I [...]

I’d like to make a file on my server be readable by PHP, but not directly accessible with a browser. Say my Apache installation’s root is /apache. I’d like PHP to be able to get the text of /apache/1.txt, but not allow the user to go to domain.tld/1.txt and view the contents. I’d still like to be able to read/write the file through FTP/SFTP without root. What would be the propper chmod string for this? [...]

I have a simple .htaccess file to rewrite www.domain.com/foobar.php to www.domain.com/foobar RewriteEngine On RewriteRule foobar foobar.php [L] It is giving me a 404 even though I ran phpinfo(); (which shows the mod_rewrite module), and checked httpd.conf (which uses mod_rewrite several times by default).
