Checking how the script was executed

[mlewczuk]

Hello,
I have a script e.g. test.php with some function which include another file e.g. test2.php, and my question is : how to check in test2.php if this file was executed by include function :

if (this file is executed by include function)
{
ok...
}
else
{
buuu...
}

Is this possible ??

Method 1 (not recommended) :
Set some variable like
$included_test2_php=1;
then use
include("test2.php");

in test2.php
just check if $included_test2_php is 1

Method 2 (recommended) :

in test2.php have:

if(eregi("test2.php",$PHP_SELF))
// file called by browser
else
// file is included
