Another method, which isn't equivalent but has the same effect
(disallowing direct access to uploaded files), would be to move
uploads outside your web server's document tree.  You can use

$UploadDir = '/some/path/the/server/won't/serve/from/uploads';

PmWiki can run with all script-written files stored outside the web
document tree, which is pretty impressive.  For a clunky method of
setting this up, see
