Securing Pages

kvarnerexpress
just wondering if there is a easy safe way to secure some webpages.

i have a payment facility on my site which is linked through paypal. when the member has paid they are taken back to my site "thanks your payment has been successful page", once its went to this page the item is no longer listed on my site.

now i have found away people can mess with this using the url. this means people can change just a few digits in the url and and mess the listings up on my site.

after payment has been made the member is redirected to:-

mydomain.com/class/thanks_paypal.php?myprod_id=78&MemberID=11

this means i could over ride the id (78) with another id (80) (90) etc etc, this would then mean these items would show as sold and come off my site.

is there away to either hide my url: so it only shows the following mydomain.com/class/

or is there another way to make it more secure,thanks

Change the action of the form from GET to POST and then use $_POST['variable'] rather than $_GET. This will hide the information being sent and it can't be changed by the user.

Post forms would be better, as previously stated. You could also use hidden inputs if you have to take it through several pages:
CODE
<input type="hidden" name="prod_id" value="###" />


If you also want secure as in payment and such, then you have to buy a certificate.

    inserted by users, and i know how to use stripslashes to take out slashes from input strings but
    this doesnt seem to be lock-tight security to me. There has to be something more to protect my

    Just wondering if anyone's worked with securing images to avoid direct linking than just by
    obscuring the URL or using a .htaccess file. I briefly looked through the documentation and source
    for gallery and it looks like the images are stored under the web root, so anyone with a direct link
    can browse the images regardless of user privileges. I was thinking one way of doing this would be
    too store the images above the webroot directory so that visitor's can't navigate to them
    and having a php script that can read the image dir output the images by sending th....
