One of the first things we are going to create is an empty
index.html file; this will be used so that no one can take a look at
the folder structure for the module. For example, imagine that our site is installed

something like the next image:
If we try to click on mod_littlecontact.php, we will see the
following phrase:
Direct Access to this location is not allowed.
That's because the code we added to our file is as follows:
<?php
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Direct Access to this location is not allowed.');
?>
Of course, we don't want people to be able to see which files we are using for ...
