Is there a way to check and see what page someone came from, and if they didn’t come from a certain page (for me it’s: [url]http://localhost/index.php?page=register)[/url].

If they didn’t come from that page, and they go straight to [url]http://localhost/register.php[/url] then redirect them back to [url]http://localhost/index.php?page=register[/url]

This way people can’t make their own form, and insert something from that form into my database.

However, it's not 100% guaranteed to be correct/accurate, as it depends on what the client sends in the headers.

A better method would probably be to use a session variable to track where they've been.

Success!
