Re: [PHP] header() vs HTTP_REFERER (Netscape 6)

HTTP_REFERER is set by browser. I treat HTTP_REFERER header as user input, so I don't trust it. Using HTTP_REFERER can open security hole in your web site. I suggest to change your authentication code, so that you don't rely on HTTP_REFERER. Regards, -- Yasuo Ohgaki ""Scott Fletcher"" <[EMAIL P

[PHP] header() vs HTTP_REFERER (Netscape 6)
