It seemed to not get set when just typing in the address of the page
rendering phpinfo(), which makes sense, so I suppose you could use isset to
make sure the request had come from somewhere, and then check the
$_SERVER["HTTP_REFERER"] value to make sure it was from your site, or
wherever.

Jacob,
It's almost certainly going to be one of the $_SERVER elements, but you can
check which one by looking down the properties.

Ok, had a look at the phpinfo() output, but not sure what to look for, since
doesn't seem to reflect any form of referer info, etc., unless it's related
to one of the $_SERVER array elements/items?

Jacob,
Have a look at the phpinfo() output. That should point you to the correct
method for your site.

As subject line says, it would be nice, sometimes, specifically in terms of
form submission processing to maybe confirm the referring URL/server, and I
have used similar things in past with classic ASP etc., but can't remember
that exact syntax, but think it had something to do with something like a
HTTP response referer header or something.
Either way, I know there are collections of values like $_REQUEST, $_SERVER,
etc., but not sure where to try find something like this, or if it's
simply/easily possible/doable?
TIA
