Is there a way to prevent the post viewed by the visitor?

Supposed the page is example.com/blog/data.php. I am using file_get_contents to get the content in another script page. Now, i want to:

  1. Forbid google search to crawl and index the data.php page.
  2. Forbid the visitor to access it

Is there a way to achieve this?

You can redirect to another page if the request url is example.com/blog/data.php, but a far easier and more logical solution would be to move the file out of your web-root.

Edit: If you really want to keep the file inside the web-root, you can use something like this at the top of the script that you don't want to access directly:

if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] === $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])
{
  header('Location: /');    // redirect to home page
}

However, this will probably not work in combination with file_get_contents (you need to remove these lines from the result), you could include the file instead.

Simply apply access restriction for authorized users only. You are able to do it in the most simple way by accessing your page using url parama as password:

example.com/blog/data.php?secret=someblah

and in the first of your file data.php do the following:

<?php
if (!isset($_GET['secret']) || $_GET['secret'] != 'someblah')) exit();
?>

However,It is recommended, don't use this from public computer becuase it is not secure but it is the primitive authentication principle.

You can pass token via GET. Overall your way is slightly wrong. Why don't you incorporate the data.php logic in the script that is calling it.

Don't put data.php under the web root. Keep it in a parallel directory.
