Why is this printing?

zoobie

I'm trying to prevent users from going directly to this page but it's still printing...txn_id is a posted var from a previous page they must go thru but the html is still printing session or not...Suggestions? Thanks

<?php
session_start();
session_destroy();

if ($txn_id == $txn_id) {
	echo "<html><body>Blah blah blah</body></html>";
}
else "ERROR";
?>

if($txn_id == $txn_id){ // <-- always true 'cause they're the same variable..

Ahh....of course...My bad...What do you think would be a good solution? To add a hidden session value then check for it? Thanks a lot

That won't do you any good 'cause you destroy your session before your comparison. I don't have a suggestion. Sorry, man.

Actually, the session is not destroyed until the page or script is run. For example, I have variables on the page that display properly. Then upon refreshing, only then can one can see it's been destroyed and the variables are gone.
Maybe I'll try making a random number...Anyone have other suggestions? Thanks again. 😃
