[Resolved] [Resolved] System variables, and a parsing include

mberman

All right... I've been looking for answers on PHP.net for the past few days and I haven't come up with any - so I hope someone here will be able to help. First of all, I'm trying to keep a PHP page from being loaded directly or refereshed, as below:

if($PHP_SELF = $_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] ){
      die("<b>Please do not load this page directly</b>");
}

However, my variables don't seem to be correct (or something else), because one of two things happens, depending on if I use an "=" or an "==". Either the script denies even when it's parsing form input from an HTML source, or it doesn't die at all. What am I doing wrong?

I also have another quick question -
I am looking for a function to include a file, but parse it as PHP. Specificly, I'm defining variables in another file, that I need included into the script. require() and include() both just display the file - is there a function that will parse it as PHP?

Any help would be greatly appriciated!

Try...

if( $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] == $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] )

When you "include" a file with PHP code, it parses the PHP code for you.

I'm including the file "var.php" with the following contents:

###################################################################
#EMERGENCY/MATINANCE SCRIPT DISABLER
###################################################################
// [mAdmin v.1.0.1, beta 6.
// Please fill in ALL of the below

//Stop all action?
// "y"; for yes, "n"; for no
$hackstop = "y";

//What time was this reported? (optional)
$HACK_time = "11:25 AM";

//Why was the service shut down? (optional)
$HACK_reason = "MOO";

//How do you want the reason formatted?

//HTML before the message
$HACK_rformat1 = "<font color='red'><h3>";

//HTML after the message
$HACK_rformat2 = "</font></h3>";

using the following line of code:

require_once("var.php");

and my webserver just spits back the plain text....

You need <?php ?> tags in the file you are including.

Heh... Right. Thanx!
