I have a VPS with Apache httpd, and PHP installed. I am going to be running a Minecraft server from it. Anyways, I want to be sure that PHP will be able to have read/write access to the Minecraft folder. I do not want people to be able to navigate to it through their browser though. What would be the best way of handling this?

You could just create some kind of system that restricts access, such as a basic login system or by using whitelist of IP addresses, and if any person attempts to view the resource without sufficient access you can just send them somewhere else. If you have a static IP address, using a whitelist would arguably be the more secure option.
Though, why are you using PHP to handle reading and writing to a game server?

I want to make my own control panel for managing server data. That is why I am using PHP.
