Why can't the root directory be accessed after PHP module has been installed?

Matthew Wilkinson, Yu Guo,


PHP can only access what Apache/other server allows it to access. This
is usually the root of the public_html or htdocs folder, as it is deemed
insecure to allow you access to the entire hard drive.
