Really simple question - /php directory above /web tree .htaccess contents

Greetings, I am using php on a Sun Cobalt Linux server with many virtual hosts. I want to have the /php directory one directory above the /web root so it is not accessible from browser command line execution but will execute from a click on an html page. CGI-PHP is installed but I need to know the .htaccess contents for the /cgi/php directory If that is not possible....... and I put the /php directory under the /web root; would have to protect it from browser command line execution with a .htaccess file. I would appreciate help with either of the .htaccess contents that are required. This question I think is very simple for some of the more experienced php users and I can't find the answer in any documentation. Thanks very much for any help.
