You want to stop the CSRF problem, but you want to support a user
making the login in a IP, and submiting a "delete account" button *the
next second* from a different IP. then you want this solution to be
better cost effective than cookies.
Maybe ask the user his password.
<form method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="id_user" value="33">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="delete_user">
<input type="submit" value="Delete user">
<p>For this action you must provide the password. </p>
<input type="password" name="password" value="">
</from>
Even if this request come from a IP in china, you can allow it.
