ninedoors Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 I would like to know if it is possible to hide the action of a form from the user. Meaning when I want to send a form to a php script when I hover over the submit button you can see the script name in the bottom left hand corner of the browser. Is there a way to avoid this?

wildteen88 Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 The path of the script is still going to display in the address bar once the form has been submitted. Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/106347-php-form-action/#findComment-545084 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninedoors Posted May 19, 2008 Author Share Posted May 19, 2008 Is that a huge security risk? It seems like hackers could easily mess around with those scripts then.

revraz Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 If your code is sloppy then sure. If you are really worried about someone running your .php file directly, then put it in a folder that they can't run it from directly but only your script can run.
