Check if file was included/required

[Azala]

Hi.

Is it possible to do a is_included sort of check?

Like lets say you go to index.php which includes login.php, all is fine.

Now lets say I type in www.blabla.com/login.php, I want to run a check to see if login.php was included through index.php or not, if not, display an error.

That way the files wouldn't be accessable other than through index.php.

Cheers

One way is to have 'include' files that only contain functions that get called in the 'main' file. That way, if a user goes directly to an 'include' file, then they will just get a blank screen.

Or just place included files in a directory that is not accessible through the web browser.

Trying to keep track of that through code can be problematic and just add cruff code that is not needed IMHO.

What if I did like this in index.php:

$IndexInclude = true;

and in login.php

if (! GLOBAL[$IndexInclude])
//showerror

Comments?

You mean you want to get a list of included files to see if another file is listed in it? Something like [man]get_included_files[/man]?
