how to block direct access to a .php file

[wap4ads]

hi friends,
if i want to block direct access to test.php file what should i do,

example: if any one type directly this http://mydomain.com/test.php in browser it must redirect to home page

is there any code for this

its too easy.....jast add this code in your .htaccess file
ErrorDocument 403 /index.php
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php
ErrorDocument 500 /index.php

i think u didn't get my point .....i asked to block test.php when it is visitors directly type in browser like http://mydomain.com/test.php if they type this only directly it should redirect to home page ,

or consider like this i have my.php file and linked test.php in that file ...now test.php must be open if it clicked from my.php .....otherwise it should redirect to home page

SetEnvIf REFERER "www.mydomain.com/my.php" linked_from_here
SetEnvIf REFERER "^$" linked_from_here

<Files ~ "test.php">
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
Allow from env=linked_from_here
</Files>


is this correct

I take it the php file is included in another script
so you would probably add something like:

if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']=="/test.php"){
header("Location: /index.php");
exit;
}

what do you mean? can u explain clearly

[something else]

my above code is for a php page if it actually exists but you dont want nobody going on it directly ...only way to get on that page is via another page by using include('test.php'); or some other similar way

if the page doesnt exist then use sanju`s suggestion in .htaccess
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

Hmmmmm.....after tried several methods i got solution by using $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; and $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ........please close this thread
