I'm putting together a site that will make itself available for user input. I was wondering if writing a function like:
if(getenv("HTTP_REFERER") != 'http://www.myURL.com/submitArea'){
        die('don\'t be an jerk, ruin your own site');   
    }else{
        // continue with form processing    
    }
is enough to prevent cross site form submissions.
