How to make sure that an AJAX request comes from the current user ?

Hi,

I plan to implement my own voting mechanism using AJAX and I have a problem: how do I make sure that the current vote is coming from the current user ?

If I use a code like this:

Code:

My_AJAX_Object.send('press-operations.php', 'action=vote&amp;user_id=$user_id

? a hacker could call this URL with a different user_id, effectively being able to vote on any user's name !

Any solutions to this ?

Regards,
Razvan M.
