You're right it isn't. Thanks!

Here is the function safeReferer
function safeReferer(&$referer,&$checksum,$default=PAGE_PAGESTORE)
{#small piece of code to safely include referers in html code
#+ get referer, save it in the form with a digest code with some noise
#+ on request, verify the by adding the noise to the referer and calculating
the digest code.
#+ if it does not match, use standard page as referer
$referer=htmlspecialchars(urlencode( @ $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']));
if($referer=='')
$referer=$default;
$checksum=makeCheckSum($referer);
$req_ref=$req_chk=null;
if( (!(empty($_POST['referer']))) && (!(empty($_POST['checksum']))) )
{$req_ref=$_POST['referer'];
$req_chk=$_POST['checksum'];}
elseif( (!(empty($_GET['referer']))) && (!(empty($_GET['checksum']))) )
{$req_ref=urlencode($_GET['referer']); #parameters passed urlencoded are
automatically decoded by php!
$req_chk=$_GET['checksum'];}
else
makeCheckSum($referer);
if(!(is_null($req_ref)))
{if(makeCheckSum($req_ref)==$req_chk)
{$referer=$req_ref;
$checksum=$req_chk;}
else
{$referer=urlencode($default);
$checksum=makeCheckSum($referer);}
}
return urldecode($referer);
}
function makeCheckSum($input)
{$noise="+++some'(-546%noise#*";
$checksum=sha1(md5("$input$noise"));
return $checksum;
}
Thank you
With kind regards
