Prevent direct access

[tropicalisland]

Hi,

A visitor visits page a.html. When he clicks on a submit button, he is directed to page b.html. How can I prevent the visitor from accessing page b.html directly without first going to page a.html?

Illustration:

a.html --> b.html (OK)
going to b.html directly without first going through a.html is not allowed.

1. You can use session variables in your scripting environment (ASP, PHP, etc). If the visitor goes to a.html, set a session variable to True. When page b.html is called, check the session variable, if it is False, redirect the user back to a.html.

2. On page b.html, check that the page is called with HTTP POST, if not redirect them to a.html.

Hope this helps.

or check the referer page first if it isn't a.html redirect them.
