how to protect html pages opening directly from url and redirect through login page Options

[shankar from vizag]

Good evening all

I had posted a topic with similar subject in the SERVER SIDE SCRIPTING section. Where I get answer is server configuration to overcome this problem. How would I do the server configuration.

I am using XAMPP and have some html and php pages.

I have a login page in html. But what I noticed is when the user directly gives the html path on the url it opens directly. I want to fix this issue.

I would expect a solution here. Please provide example to better understanding the answer.

thanks in advance.
