I know that in theory htaccess prevents access to the bits you don't want people to see, but in the real world mistakes happen. I didn't mention docs cos we keep those separate from the code along with the PSD files and other large "original works" that aren't needed for the website itself.

Historically, I've tended to only have a few directories; e.g something like : --/projects/foo ----/sql - db schemas etc ----/docs - req. specs etc. ----/tests - any automated tests etc. ----/php - controllers and static html ------/templates - smarty files ------/css ------/js David.

Historically, I've tended to only have a few directories; e.g something like :

–/projects/foo
—-/sql - db schemas etc
—-/docs - req. specs etc.
—-/tests - any automated tests etc.
—-/php - controllers and static html
——/templates - smarty files
——/css
——/js
