[SOLVED] Securing a script from direct access

[quiettech]

Hello all,

 

I'm wanting to secure a script from any other access than that of a require(). That is, the script cannot be ran directly, only as part of an include.

 

Currently I have only the script chmod to 600. But I would like top go that extra mile in securing this code. I believe this is done through .htaccess but am failing to find the proper syntax.

all you need is:

 

defined('INCLUDED_CONSTANT');

 

as an if statement at the top of the script you want securing.

----

 

then just put define("INCLUDED_CONSTANT",true);

 

at the top of your index php file.

 

 

hope this helps,

That simple.

 

Thanks uniflare.
