I know that if you compile PHP4 with --enable-trans-sid
(as we have), it will automagically append SID to all href
links. This is supposed to make it so that if a client's browser
does not accept cookies, the session ID gets sent to any
subsequent pages that the user gets to by clicking on links.

mktime() can be used for this. 0 is from 1970. Negative values are used

How do you get the IP out of $HTTP_REFERER? As far as I know,
that only tells you the referring url, not the ip address. And couldn't
that value be messed with?

Is it possible, in PHP, for a page to determine if it
was accessed via a form's submission (POST/GET)?
IOW, if you click on a link to get to a page, you can
find out (usually; I know it's not 100%) what page
the user was at before when s/he clicked the link by
accessing the $HTTP_REFERER variable
I'm wondering how I can do the following (if it is possible at
all):

The second value, in this case, is a unix time stamp and as such
will change every time it is set, down to the second.

Yup. It sure does. However, it doesn't work as we need

see is a list of all the files.
