Re: is there a better way to know from which php file the request comes from ??

I was reviewing ur post, and thinking u might talk about a pretty common application like in a sequence of order form u want first the billing data then the shipping data. for both u need just the same form u then process on script3. in such a case it doesn't matter if u use hidden fields or url parameter, GET or POST to run different code for each form data in sript 3 neither can I see a security issue here. u processing only the variables u defined. and what does it matter if you have an hidden field like stepp=1 or stepp=2 and a bored user put just for fun stepp=99 to piek ur ass. just take care in ur code for it and display something (e.g. "hang on , big brother is watching u") this is good practice and common all over. any PHPer got his own way to do it, and I think u r in the process to find urs. just try what u like best. if you have a real security issue come back with more details about the SECURITY issue and I m shure the group will have a good brainstorm going again. have fun ralph_deffke@yahoo.de "nashrul" <anas_aviv@yahoo.com> wrote in message news:25003587.post@talk.nabble.com... > > This is a newbie question... > Let's say there are 3 php files, page1.php, page2.php and page3.php.
