Question

I have a php page which should be included in otherpage but no directly. Lets assume it as 1.php and the other page as 2.php

1.php

<?php
   if($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] == "/1.php"){
       header("Location:2.php");
   }
   else
   {
       //some code here
   }
?>

2.php

<?php
   include("1.php");
?>

this worked well on localhost/1.php and have been redirected to localhost/2.php
but this had made a problem with localhost/1.php?somegetmethod=data I found that anyone can access this page by typing ?something=something at the end of 1.php url. How to change the code which can redirect all url which starts with localhost/1.php

Answer 1

you could check if a substring is at a given position like this

if(strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], "/1.php") === 0) {

this checks if the REQUEST_URI starts with /1.php (= is at position 0)
