Limit Direct Access .. ? 1

[triquad]

I have made a form that whenever the user completes the registration successfully, it redirects him/her to a new page (thankyou.php) saying "thank you for registering, bla bla....". It works fine but I want to prevent the direct access to thankyou.php so if the user types "

http://www.mysite.com/thabkyou.php/"

it redirects him to the form without displaying the thank you message. But in case the user succeeds to register, thankyou.php opens & displays the thank you message.

Do you have any idea how can I do that ?

Set a Session variable in your processing script before redirecting to the thank-you page, and have the thank you page check for he presence of the variable. If its there display the thank-you text. If not redirect back to the form.
