Solution 1

If you use an Apache Webserver, you can create a .htaccess file and add this code inside it:

none

<Files forbiddenfile.php>
Order Deny,Allow
Deny from All
</Files>

ErrorDocument 403 /ErrorPages/403.php

If you find that this is configuring the server, you can also redirect the user to the 403 page if he tries to access forbiddenfile.php:

PHP

<?php
header('Location: /ErrorPages/403.php'); // add this PHP code at the top of your PHP file
?>

Hope this helps.

Thanks it works...
If I may,,one more question please...

I tried to load this forbidden file with iframe inside somepage.php..So when I login how to make :
- if I type URL www.example.com/somesite/forbiddenfile.php, the response page will be forbidden file
- if I type URL www.example.com/somesite/somepage.php, the file forbiddenfile.php inside iframe will show something (not forbidden response)

I have tried whatever method came to my mind but the somepage.php iframe still show forbidden response...
any idea to solve this?? Please..

I would suggest to create another file instead of using forbiddenfile.php.

If I make another file, isn't it still can be access through the URL from browser??

Yes, but if you make a file forbidden, then it is also forbidden in the iframe!
Try this: create another file, and add the contents which should be visible in the iframe into it.
