Restrict direct access to index.php

[ragarcia87]

I would like to restrict direct access to the index.php file on my forum so that users will have to go to my domain http://www.mydomain.com to login from there.

I know I can possibly do this with the .htaccess file but don't know how. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you.

Those mods did not work for what I am wanting to do. Thank you though.

DirectoryIndex http://www.mydomain.com/

Might work, untested though

Ill explain my situation better. I have create a fake login page to hide the site from prying eyes, but you can bypass the fake page if u type in /index.php or /meberlist.php etc. So my DirectoryIndex is set to home.php and the forum is still set to index.php.

Plugin @ init_startup:

PHP Code:

if (THIS_SCRIPT == 'index' AND stripos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'index.php'))
{
    header('Location: http://www.example.com/');
}
