so that if it's not included from a script that has already set up $vbulletin, it won't run.

Good to know, Kevin!

What I did for one of my external PHP files (called via clicking a link) is this:

PHP Code:

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])
{
    //script code here.
}
else
{
    print_no_permission();
}
