Hi,
you could use an additional parameter containing a checksum of the entire URL, that you check at the
beginning. Of course, somebody with the right motivation could find out your checksum scheme (I
would
use a subset of the md5 function), but at least it won't be simple anymore.
You could also use a Session ID that you generate somewhere on your site (usually the start page).
You
pass that along to the form and check it for validity. PHP 4 supports sessions.
Hope this helps.
Greetings,
Michael.
