Hi Tim

Thanks for the reply.

I did consider this as an option, however, I feel that it is too risky
in that the service [in this case Moodle] is being served from a user's
home directory, as the agreement is that they are administering that
particular service, and they might actually delete the test.php file.
However, it has just struck me as I write this, that all I need to
really do is change ownership of that file I guess, or have another
virtual host that serves the php file.

I am still curious as to whether my initial idea is possible though. Any
takers?

Mike
