Added a .htaccess file to the project (this file is hidden by default).
The .htaccess file is set to hide json files on the server for security.
I have tested this on gl, and the server has this enabled. This will allow
us to use json for the user information without it being publicly visible.
I added a php file (locs.php) which, when passed the correct POST parameters,
will provide access to the locs.json file.  Future versions of this file will
provide access to add, remove, and modify the data that it ussually serves.

Php won't run in local versions.  For local testing we can modify index.htm
to target the locs.json file instead of the php file.  However, we will need
to use php for later things, so I may add a script to automatically post the
latest version from git to the server.  for now my latest changes are
