I’m trying to login to a password protected php page through a form in flash.  
When the user provides correct information the flashmovie opens a php-page, but how do I protect the php page from unautorized accesses?

Can I send a variable containing the user/pass given?  
I know I could tell flash to “getURL [www.address.com/admin.php?user=user&pass=12345](http://www.address.com/admin.php?user=user&pass=12345)”, but then everyone who checks history can access the page without even having to access the flash page…

Anyone getting what I mean?

Thanks!!
