Dummy question ..

[carnt]

Ok I'm a Dummy i really can't figure out.
Also try search doc's for help , but i think that really need your help people =) .

I a last post i make a question about how only permit one page to open when came from another specific page .
Then i receive this :

<?
if ($HTTP_REFERER != 'other_php_page')
die("error!");
?>

Ok great , but i still can't figure out =( .
Let's say that the page that have this code is called index2.php .
I need that the index2.php only open when the person open first the index1.php that will redirect to index2.php .

But i need the index2.php before know that the person came from index1.php redirect this person to index3.php .

Or this:

User -> Index1.php (Redir to) -> (index2.php - he look. Came from index1.php?? ok? then -> redir to index3.php)(Don't came from index1.php?? ->then error!!).

Can someone please help here !! .
Thanks alot .

use sessions and store a variable that says if the user ever went to index1.php.

So on index1.php:

$GLOBALS['is_valid_referer'] = true;
session_register('is_valid_referer');

On index2.php
session_start();
if (!$GLOBALS['is_valid_referer']) {
...error here or whatever...
}

and just keep doing the same thing over and over...

on index1.php
<?
$GLOBALS['is_valid_referer'] = true;
session_register('is_valid_referer');
?>

on index2.php
<?
session_start();
if (!$GLOBALS['is_valid_referer']) {
echo "error";} else {
header("Location: another.php");}
session_destroy();
exit;
?>

Now works very well =)
