redhead is on a distinguished road
when using .inc anybody can view your source. if they encounter an error saying:
Error found in /web_space_user/include/my_php.inc they can try to fetch it directly,m viewing it as clear text, giving them a view in to your coding habit. If you like to use md5sum() or what ever...
It is very unsecure to call your include files .inc. or anything else that isn't executed by teh web server.
