<h2 class="title">Case 2: using <i>cgi.force_redirect</i></h2>
<p class="simpara">
The configuration directive <a href="ini.core.php#ini.cgi.force-redirect" class="link">cgi.force_redirect</a>
prevents anyone from calling PHP
directly with a URL like <var class="filename">http://my.host/cgi-bin/php/secretdir/script.php</var>.
Instead, PHP will only parse in this mode if it has gone through
a web server redirect rule.
PHP older than 4.2.0 used <i>--enable-force-cgi-redirect</i>
compile time option for this.
</p>
<p class="simpara">
Usually the redirection in the Apache configuration is done with
the following directives:
</p>
<div class="example-contents programlisting">
<div class="apache-confcode"><pre class="apache-confcode">Action php-script /cgi-bin/php
AddHandler php-script .php</pre>
</div>
</div>
<p class="simpara">
This option has only been tested with the Apache web server, and
relies on Apache to set the non-standard CGI environment variable
<span class="envar">REDIRECT_STATUS</span> on redirected requests. If your
web server does not support any way of telling if the request is
direct or redirected, you cannot use this option and you must use
one of the other ways of running the CGI version documented
here.
