How can I forbid access to an URL in PHP?

If I have a URL called: www.example.com and I have an application in the next URL: www.example.com/app/, how can I forbid access to www.example.com but not to the app? Any simple way?

Thanks.

If you need to do this from within PHP, you can simply set the correct HTTP status and exit the program:

if ($_SERVER['PATH_INFO'] === '/') {
    header('', false, 403);
    die('Access forbidden.');
}

See the header() docs and the description of HTTP return codes.

But in the general case, @CooPer and the others are right, the server config is a better location to handle that globally.

use .htaccess

Order Deny,Allow
Deny from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1

<Directory /app>
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
</Directory>
