This would be just as bad, as he could open up a socket faking a referer.
What you really need are data integrity checks inside the script which posts
to the message board on your server.

RE: [PHP] forms and IP numbers

2001-07-13 Thread scott [gts]

no offense, but that's a bad kludge for the problem.

however, if you really want to do that, you could try
checking $SERVER_NAME and $HTTP_REFERER and other
enviornment variables like that... 

what would be easier (and better practise) to do is to 
verify that the incoming username is valid...

RE: [PHP] forms and IP numbers

2001-07-13 Thread Randy Johnson

I would like to pull the date and time of the creation of a file via a php
script and compare it to the current time.

How do I do this?

TIA

Randy
