Hi,

I would be glad about hints for the following situations.

For the actual page: Is it possible to find out if it was called by entering the URL into the browser or by an anker tag (href)?

In addition look at this indirect way.
Via a link a script is called that produce no page. Its only purpose is to route to another page.

Again here is it possible to recognize if a user has started that router script while entering the URL into the browser?

Thanks,
Michael

You have to look the REFERER variable from the SERVER array. If it's
empty, then the user typed the URL or used a bookmark; else it contains
the page containing the link the user clicked.

More than ever, phpinfo() is your friend.
