In class.join.php you could include, for example, at the top of the file
<?php
if (!isset($fromIndex))
{
die("ERROR MESSAGE");
}

From within the application, I use one page to include classes/variables and so on. Is there a way (I may have been missing it in the documentation for PHP, however I didnt see anything related) to prevent a user from directly accessing/executing *.php by the file making sure taht it was only included by index.php?
For example:
config.php defines:
function __autoload($class_name) {
$class_name = strtolower($class_name);
include_once('class.'.$class_name.'.php');
}
as per PHP5 example
1 (the preferred way): user accesses http://www.example.org/index.php?function=Join, this loads the class NewUser and begins its implementation. Because of the __autoload, it includes class.join.php, in order to utilize the class.
2 (the wrong way): user accesses http://www.example.org/includes/class.join.php without going through index.php.
I am trying to prevent 2 from even occuring, utilizing a piece of code that would check if index.php had included it, or not. This code would be in the beginning of all the class files, at the top, before any other code was to be executed.
As of yet, it has eluded me...
