How can developers ensure that sensitive scripts are stored outside of the publicly accessible server path to enhance security measures?

Developers can ensure that sensitive scripts are stored outside of the publicly accessible server path by placing them in a directory that is not accessible via a URL. This prevents unauthorized users from directly accessing the scripts through the browser, enhancing security measures.

// Store sensitive scripts in a directory outside of the public server path
include_once '/path/to/sensitive/scripts/script.php';
