[PHP] How to figure out from which domain the PHP script was called?

[Philarmon]

Hi !

Im a completely PHP newbie, so please spare me :)

Is there any way to figure out from which page a script was called ?

I want that the PHP script check it and will be executed only if the request
came from my domain (so nobody could execute it by typing its name in the
browser or something like that).

Thanks for answering !

Cheers,
Philarmon

YOu can check the HTTP_REFERRER...  but really though, that's no security.  
Anyone can use Curl to simulate a request that looks like it comes from your 
domain.

All security measures needs to happen on the server, not from what the users 
web browser gives you.
