ok, so i made a file manager and i need to prevent people from linking directly to files that do not come from another part of the site. i know i can use http_referer, but i wonder how fool proof it is, i dont want to spit out errors to a legit user that actually came from a valid page before trying to access the file url. some people have said http_referer is not always accurate. any examples, snips, would be helpful. -- PHP General Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
