### Form Tokens

[](#form-tokens)

FormSecurity can generate nonce tokens to be used to verify a form can only be submitted once. To use the token, simply generate a token, add it to a hidden form input, then validate the submitted token against the one saved in the session variable.

#### Generate the token

[](#generate-the-token)

```
$exampleToken = FormSecurity::token_generate('example');
```

#### Store the generated token in a form hidden input
