Securing PHP Includes

[R8kit]

Hey everyone,

 

I am trying to secure php includes and I wrote the following lines:

 

<?php
$dir=scandir('.');

if (in_array('copyright.php',$dir)) {
include('copyright.php');
}
else {
echo 'That page could not be found';
}
?>

 

Is this code secure enough, can anyone help me improve it?

 

Thanks in advance.

<?php
$filename = '/path/to/copyright.php';

if (file_exists($filename)) {
    include('copyright.php');
} else {
    echo "The file $filename does not exist";
}
?>
