    How do I protect my PHP-script from unauthorized access?

    Hello everybody.

    I have a question about how to protect my PHP-script from all
    unauthorized access. I have a PHP-script on my web server and this
    PHP-script should only be accessible from _one_ IP-address.

    Right now I am using "$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']" to check if the person
    that wishes to access my PHP-script is authorized or not but I believe
    that this is quite easily circumvented…

    Are there other ways to prevent anyone from accessing my PHP-script
    (except the from the one IP-address that is authorized)?? Is there
    maybe a way to do this with a firewall? I am using Linux on the server
    by the way.

    Kindly
    Gabriel

      .htaccess

      |<files special-secret-secure.php>
      |order deny,allow
      |deny from all
      |allow from 999.999.999.999
      |</files>
