Hi! I use a page to authorize a user and based on certain criterias (user group etc) include a file in another directory (named private)... Everything is working fine but the problem is anyone goign directly to private/includefile.php can run the script without authorising themselves... Is it possible to set folder permission such that files inside it cant be open directly but could be included? thanks in advance :)
In private/.htaccess put: Order Deny,Allow Deny from all
