Hi rusdvl,
I believe you are trying to achieve something like a step by step
process where you don't want to a user to skip to step n directly but,
instead be from step (n-1). There are quite few ways to achieve
something similar to what you want although, the underlying principal
remains the same i.e. you need a way to keep track of the last visited
page.
You can use HTTP_REFERER but, as Nathan suggested it cannot be
considered as a solid solution due the nature of the technologies
controlling the content e.g. a firewall or web-server settings.
If you are in control of all the resources/pages in the web-
application then, this is what you can do-
1. Assign each page an ID (Does not always have to be a number)
2. This ID can be stored in a cookie(encrypt to be more secure),
session, GET variable, POST to another page etc.
Depends on your requirements.
3. On the page, where you want to put a check, find out if any of the
variables' mentioned above contain the expected ID, if not, redirect
otherwise, continue.
Let me know, if this works out for you.
Regards,
Mark S.
