Now if you are concerned about the security of your server then check security of your server so no one hacks in. Hide directory listing, adding passwords etc can be done through web servers. I don't how a person would be able to execute your script from another location. Anyway you can get the location of the script, script name etc. from the server vars. Refer manual for the funtion.

You should not name your includes with a .inc file extension unless your server is set to process .inc as .php. Store your db connection include above root, and require it. I used a "deny from all" .htaccess file in my includes folder, but then after I changed the location to above root, I use a CHMOD of 001 on that folder.
