What are the implications of using deny from all in .htaccess for protecting sensitive data in a PHP forum configuration file?

Using "deny from all" in .htaccess can help protect sensitive data in a PHP forum configuration file by restricting access to the file from unauthorized users. This directive denies all requests to access the file, making it inaccessible to anyone trying to directly access it through the web server. 

<Files "config.php">
    Order allow,deny
    Deny from all
</Files>
