Sorry if this has been asked hundreds of times here, I did a quick search before posting..

Where should this line go..

if ( ! defined('BASEPATH')) exit('No direct script access allowed');

..just controllers? controllers and models?

why or why not?

Thanks

Do you use this line in your own projects:

if ( ! defined(‘BASEPATH’)) exit(‘No direct script access allowed’);

?

It's in the controller file in a fresh CI download.
What is it for and does it only belong in controllers or models too?

Thanks,

That article linked to this: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/93620/ where someone said: "Making sure BASEPATH is defined is just a simple way to know that CI has been loaded."

which basically answers my question. But does the line:

if ( ! defined(‘BASEPATH’)) exit(‘No direct script access allowed’);

only belong in controllers? why?

Edit: also where is BASEPATH defined in the framework? i found online people say it's defined in index.php...but which index.php? there's one in the root, controllers folder, etc. All that I checked so far didn't have it.

BASEPATH is defined in the index.php file, the if should be placed in all CodeIgniter files at the top.

The constant BASEPATH is referred to at the top of all controllers that I saw. But where is it defined?

You mentioned they go at the top of all files. So you put that line of code in models too?

I told you above it is defined in index.php

Yes place it at the top of all your files.

Every index.php file I've checked says this:

Code:
&lt;html&gt;

&lt;head&gt;

 &lt;title&gt;403 Forbidden&lt;/title&gt;

&lt;/head&gt;

&lt;body&gt;

<p>Directory access is forbidden.</p>

&lt;/body&gt;

&lt;/html&gt;

There is an index.php in root, controllers folder, etc. Can you tell me which index.php file it is defined in?

If you read the other index files they have a .html extension not .php

There is only one index.php file and it is in the root.
