php detect/ get the sender url (or server) of post request

问题

Suppose X.com will send a post request to Y.com How Y know that the sender is X? Without the url query string course.

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] of http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php seems not the answer. The documentation it self says "it cannot really be trusted".

Should it use key & secret key parameter?

回答1:

Send a secret value across with your request, such as a key which you can check for in your script on X.com

Y.com:

$secret = 'SECRET_KEY';

X.com:

if(!empty(htmlentities($_POST['secret'])) {
    if(htmlentities($_POST['secret']) == 'SECRET_KEY') {
        //Request came from Y.com
    }
}
