In the file you want to prevent direct access, place something like in the header (meaning at the top, above your codes):

<?php

if (!defined("_IN_CODE")){
// display error message; user trying to get direct access. Something like:
echo "<b>404 - File Doesn't Exist.</b>";
}

// your codes here

?>

 

Then in the file you use include or require to call that page, you need to do something like:

<?php

define ("_IN_CODE", 1);
include "URL TO FILE";

// rest of codes here

?>

 

Understand?
