Hi folks,
I know that this is not a php question, but I'm sure it some kind
related to it. I need to put my public files under "public" folder, and
other includes files and database config in other folder not shown to
the public, but i don't know how to do that. I hope if some one show me
how to achieve this.

For example, this is the directory structure:

/root
--/includes
----db.php
----config.php

--/public
----/index.php
----/images
----/admin
------/login.php



I don't want to enter (example.com/public) to view index.php file. I
just want to enter (example.com) and it redirects to the public folder
and shows only (example.com/index.php) in the URL. And for login.php
should display (example.com/admin/login.php) not
(example.com/public/admin/login.php)

Kind regards,
Ahmed.

That's an HTTP server configuration. For example, with Apache,
you should look at the DocumentRoot setting.

If /public is your web root, then alter your virtual hosts file to
reflect this, so that it is the one that is used as the web root.

If /public is not your web root, then you could consider using
mod_rewrite() to internally redirect the content the visitors see,
without them actually knowing about it.

Thanks,
Ash
