Which file location is the best place to store PHP files for maximum security?
My index.html file is located in public_html/my_domain_name. I also have a PHP file which has a link from index.html which allows users to send contact information. I currently have the PHP file located in the same directory as index.html.
I don't want the public to be able to read the PHP file.
Should I leave the PHP file where it is or is there a better location in the directory structure?
What file protection should I put on the PHP file? It is currently 644.

It only partially answered the question. I will try the ClamAV scanner.
