How do you *KNOW* it originated from ITSELF?

Can't I just fake it out by copying the URL you are using?

Again, how you do *KNOW* that to be true?



What's the big picture again?

They need to login to see the movies, right?

Or is it something else?

If just need login, use http://php.net/session_start and friends as I
just posted.

If it's something else, session_start() may not help.
