Hide Include-Files from the Web

Hi! I want my include-files not be seen from outside AND not be executed!!! I don't have access to a directory outside DOCUMENT_ROOT and I don't have .htaccess!!! I think about something like: 1. name: <file>.inc.php 2. add code: if ($PHP_SELF==MY_NAME) exit; as first line in the inluded script. so, if the script is being included from another script, the code will be executed - but if the file will be called directly, no code is executed! BUT - how do I get the include-file's name? or is it safe enough, to use something like if (substr($SCRIPT_URL,-8)==".inc.php") exit; thanks michi -- Sent through GMX FreeMail - http://www.gmx.net
