Perhaps you can expand on that? Referrer does exist, and it's sent to me
by my server. If it doesn't indicate MY previous form page, then I know
the visito and it reflects ONLY my own files to be accepted, or hasn't
used the website link to access that particular page, or has tried some
sort of direct access, Back Button, etc.; and I destroy the session and
stop the script.
TIA for enlightening me.
