PHP called from page or directly?

Copy linkTweet thisAlerts:

Is there anyway that I can determine if my PHP was called from another page, or directly? For example..

Say on a page i have

[code]<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” href=”code.php”>[/code]

is there anything I can put in that php file to determine whether it was called this way, or by someone typing in

[url]www.domain.com/code.php[/url]

I tried by checking if the $HTTP_REFERER == null , but this was very flakey

@ShrineDesignsJan 26.2005 — the only way i can think of is checking the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] variable, but, that can lead to problems because the referrer can be changed by the user or is not even set

@johneboyauthorJan 26.2005 — I think i figured this one out...
[code=php]
if (eregi("code.php", $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])){
die('access denied');
}
[/code]

now on to more aggravating issues... :mad:

@ShrineDesignsJan 26.2005 — why do you want to deny access to a css file?

learning drives me (as well as being bored at work ?)
