We all have php files like ‘connect_db.php’ for include purposes only.

Suppose I have all those inclusive .php files in “www/html/INC”

And I have index.php

I want index.php accessible from browser to everyone, but I want to prevent users’ direct access to “www/html/INC” folder. (e.g. when type in the browser ‘www.domain.com/INC/’ -> 404 error etc)

How do I achieve this?

Preferrably using .htaccess file in the root directory please.

    How do I achieve this?

    Don’t. As per my previous answer, it’s much more secure to put connect_db.php in /www/, not in /www/html/INC/. If you are going to do so, then you’d use /www/html/.htaccess:

    <Directory "/www/html/INC">
   order allow,deny
   deny from all
</Directory>
