   Greetings, and apologies if this has already been asked and answered.

   This may be more an Apache question than Machform, but is there a recommended practice, when using Machform and page redirects, to ensure that site visitors *must* use the form first and cannot go directly to the redirect page?

   For example, if I embed the Machform iframe in "index.html" and then redirect to "index1.html", it is still possible to go directly to "index1.html" and avoid filling out the form. How to prevent that behavior?

   Hi,

   You can use a session variable to validate a user before go to redirect page, but you need to use "PHP" file rather that "HTML". For example I assume you've this pages :

   - index.html or index.php, where you put the form
   - index1.php is redirected page

   Then you need to edit "includes/post-functions.php" file and go to line 1170 to search this line :

   $process_result['status'] = true;

   exactly under that line add this

   $_SESSION['is_valid_user'] = true;

   and now to check the user on redirect page, simply add these code in the first line of "index1.php" file

   <?php
   	session_start();
   	if($_SESSION['is_valid_user'] !== true){
   		die("You are not authorized to see this page");
   	}
   ?>

   Thanks. Besides renaming index1.html to index1.php and adding the php code above, do I need to do anything else to get this working? (PHP already works with Apache)

   thanks again

   I believe that's all you need to make it work. No need to reconfigure PHP or Apache or anything.
