File Restriction

[Baving]

Is there any way in which php files can be disabled from being viewed from a browser but will still work if they are included on another file like include("admin/blah.php");

If you try and acess the folder or files within it you would get the page cannot be displayed message.

I have tried this CHMOD but can't seem to get it to work, so I am wondering if there is a script you can use.

you can have the "admin/blah.php" file look like this:

[code]<?php

if(isset($admin_include_code) && $admin_include_code=="123"){

//rest of the file here

}else{
die("This file cannot be accessed directly.");
}

?>[/code]


And every time you want to include the file you do:

[code]<?php

$admin_include_code="123";
include("admin/blah.php");

?>[/code]



Hope it helps :)

Orio.

I usually define a constant, but the other will work fine too.

You do not have to first check if it is set, and then if the value is 123, since if the value is 123 then it is obviously set.

[code]$var = null;[/url] and [code]$var = '';[/code] and [code]$var = false;[/code] will be set (obviously variables that are not empty will be set too).[/code]
