How can one ensure that the vendor directory is not accessible via the web on a PHP project?

To ensure that the vendor directory is not accessible via the web on a PHP project, you can use an .htaccess file to restrict access to the directory. By placing an .htaccess file in the vendor directory with the appropriate directives, you can prevent users from directly accessing any files within that directory through a web browser.

# Place this .htaccess file in the vendor directory to restrict access
Deny from all
