htaccess question & php include question...

[errorCode30]

Hi guys,

I have two questions,

First Question:

I'd like to use htaccess to do the following, take either:

www. site .com/var
and
www. site .com/var/
and
www. site .com/var/var2
and
www. site .com/var/var2/

to the following in htaccess file:

www. site .com/page.php?s=var&v=var2

I cannot work the above out 🙁 i do not know how to deal with the "/" at the end, or how to get the variables to the php page.

Second Question:

Is it possible to get a php page to check itself, and only load if it has been "included" from another php page on your site?

So if i tried to load this page:

www. site .com /subpage.php it wouldnt work, but if i tried to include it: "include("subpage.php"), that would be allowed???

Thanks fo much for answering either questions!

Regards,

For your first question: you need to use apache's rewrite module. This should get you started.

For your second question (since you'll be using .htaccess anyway) you can use a .htaccess file in your includes folder to make it so people cannot directly download for that folder. If you want a PHP approach, set a variable or constant at the top of each parent page and have the include file check for it ( isset(REAL_PAGE) ) or put the include files content in a function and call the function from the parent page after including the file.
