Hello!! What I would do is have both the 2 page and the last page on the the same page!! All my pages are only two...a form page and a processing page...that's it.... However.... You could also have a variable pass from page to page, like a hidden variable, either in a form, or with cookies. And check for that variable every page with an If...else..statement..... like If (empty($CheckPLEASE){ echo "Sorry You are out of order"; exit(); }else{ echo "hey your good to go!!"; } And so on and so on.......

Can you accomplish this without having the user logged in? I am unconcerned with whether or not the user has logged in, I simply need the user to not be able to bypass a page with a form to go directly to the end page which will connect and store the form contents into a db.

Hi there :) I use session variables to do this, once the user has logged
in
and you know they are who they say they are, set a session variable using session_register("isloggedin"); $isloggedin = "yes"; And at the top of every page you want protected simply do a check to see
if
it is set or not. Below code checks to see if that var is set and if not
it
redirects them to another page. <?php session_start(); ?> <?php if (!isset($HTTP_SESSION_VARS["islogged"])){ header("Location:index.php"); } ?> Hope this helps, Joe :) "Jas" <jlgerfen@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:20020227171009.50616.qmail@pb1.pair.com...
I am wondering if there is a good tutorial on how to use php to make
users
come from a page before they can access another. For instance, say you
have
one page called index.php which contains a form that once filled in
links
to
a confirmation page to verify the users data was entered correctly then
from
there links to a page that stores the users data into a database table.
The
problem I would like to alleviate is to make sure the users cannot just
type
in the name of the last page in the url and put a blank entry into the database. I have read a few tutorials on using sessions but I am
unclear
on
how the use of sessions would require the user to visit each page in succession. Thanks in advance, Jas
