title: any benefit in holding all my domain's .php files in a subdirectory and redirecting?
body: <p>I little while ago I came across a tutorial which took me through setting up a php site and  then moved everying into a folder called 'public' after which it created a .htaccess file with a ReWrite in it to change every request to 'domain.com' to 'domain.com/public', I am unable to recreate this successfully or find the site. Is there a security benefit to such an approach? or am I better off using htaccess for other options such as -Indexes and -FollowSymLinks?</p>
