I am somehow a noobie in PHP and I want to learn. I am making a proyect, in which I use require('parts/header.php') statements to include functions and templates. My pages look like this:
<?php include('core/checklogin.php'); //This will check if the user is logged in and can see this page or not include('parts/top.php'); //This loads the <head> tags and the header, including the navbar ?> <section id="mainArea"> <h1>Hello <?php echo getUserNickname()?></h1> <p>Some stuff</p> </section> <?php include('parts/bottom.php'); //This loads the <head> tags and the header, including the navbar ?> The problem is if someone enters myproyect.com/parts/top.php he would see the top part, and that file is going to be executed. I don't want that. I was thinking doing some stuff in a .htaccess file like:
#.htaccess inside parts directory dont_serve_anything_inside_this_directory_and_return_forbidden(); But I don't know how without affecting the server side code. Another alternative is to use the equivalent of if __name__ == 'main': of python, and do like:
//parts/top.php if(__name__ == 'main'){ header('Location: /index.php'); exit(); } What could I do?
