Jas,
Try looking into the $HTTP_REFERER variable, for example;
Advertising
<?
if ($HTTP_REFERER != "PageItShouldBeComingFrom.php") {
Header ("Location: index.php");
}
// blah blah
?>
Cheers

Subject: [PHP-DB] Re: forced page links...
Can you accomplish this without having the user logged in? I am unconcerned
with whether or not the user has logged in, I simply need the user to not be
able to bypass a page with a form to go directly to the end page which will
connect and store the form contents into a db.
Thanks in advance,
Jas
