ok, so i made a file manager and i need to prevent people from linking
directly to files that do not come from another part of the site.
i know i can use http_referer, but i wonder how fool proof it is, i dont
want to spit out errors to a legit user that actually came from a valid page
before trying to access the file url. some people have said http_referer is
not always accurate.
any examples, snips, would be helpful.
