In most installations, the /cookbook/ directory is read-protected:
cannot and should not be accessed from the internet. It is a security
risk to have this directory world-readable. I believe even PmWiki places
there a .htaccess file denying the access.
Should you access your script from the url, try to use a $HandleActions
variable:
$HandleActions['foo'] = 'MyFooFunction';
function MyFooFunction($pagename, $auth="admin")
{
$page = RetrieveAuthPage($pagename,$auth,1, READPAGE_CURRENT);
# here your code
echo $result;
}
Now, if you call your page with: http://site/pmwiki.php?action=foo
then the function MyFooFunction() will be executed.
You can see how some other existing recipes do this.
Thanks,
Petko
