So there's no real way to force a page to check for a certain condition
and reroute itself to itself to set a page for example? ... I pulled it
off by having one single variable used to equal one thing and if it's
not it assumes the user is visiting the site from somewhere other than
in the site itself.. if that happens it sets the key variable to what it
expects and reroutes back to itself passing the key in the url. I just
hoped there was a better way of doing it.
