Restricting access to .inc.php files with .htaccess

[bunner_bob]

I'm on a shared server so have to use .htaccess to make any changes.

I'd like to restrict access to my includes files. I found a chunk of code that works in the httpd.config file, but since I can't edit that the only way I'll be able to do this is with .htaccess.

What I'd like to know is the proper way to rephrase the following so I can put it in an .htaccess file:

<Files ~ ".inc(.php)?$">
_ Order allow,deny
Deny from all
Satisfy All
</Files>

thanks,
- Bob

i use this to deny any access from web to folder with this .htaccess in

but i still can include files

AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName DenyViaWeb
AuthType Basic

<Limit GET>
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Limit>
