    Hi, i have a php file on site that gets direct links from hosting sites. I noticed a couple of sites are using my script in there embed codes to get direct links.
    What i want is to block those sites from using my php file.
    is there a way?

    You could simply use a javascript to check the originating referrer. If it matches those sites redirect to something else.

    Stick with the htaccess method(s), they aren't going to be able to work around those.
