Question

I would like to know if this it’s fine.

I need to block web access to file and make it only avaible from other php (ie: include)

if(strstr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], "filename.php")){
      header('Location: http://www.website.net');
}  

thanks in advance

The most common way is to define a constant in a parent script

define('BLA', true);

and check in your script if it exists:

if (!defined('BLA')) {
    // redirect here
}
