protect files without encrypting

protect files without encrypting "Is it possible to protect files from intruders without encrypting it? Specifically php files. Because when I try to encrypt it , it won't be readable from the localhost. Even a simple application that will hide the local disk will do. But if you know other ways on how to protect files without encrypting then please tell."

"Set up correct permissions on your file system.

It's probably not that hard to set the permissions of your php files so that only the webserver can get to them. This of course means that no one else should have admin/root privileges on that computer."
