Thank you for your response. When you have a script which should only accept input from specific pages how do you control this? Is one Good way to do this using .htaccess allow from where that is available?
All advice seriously appreciated!

    I would never make such a script, because the premisis is flawed. HTTP was created as a stateless protocol, and that's how it works best. Why would a resource care which resource the user consulted before? Why try to funnel the user through a virtual corridor? HTTP wasn't designed for that, and any trick you try will eventually fail. As you found out.

    Don't fight the system, work with it.
