Ah, I see. I didn't know it would not be possible to run php scripts
if they are outside the web directory. Thanks!

Hmmm...I noticed the files are made by the user www-data. I guess I
didn't know what privileges it had. I enabled the world permissions
for the directories and files for it...
I also tried chown'ing the file so that www-data owns it. I also tried
to create a group so that only I and www-data are in it. Neither seems
to work as I'm not the root user.
But, say I could make files owned by www-data and give it -rwx------.
How could I read them?

Since php is server-side code, this is what I thought; but I also was
worried that there is some way to get around it. Thanks for confirming
to me that there isn't.
