阻止用户直接访问网址Yii 2

Question

I have this piece of code that if the user clicks on it the link will be replaced by text making it unable to be clicked again. The problem now is that if the user access it directly in the url so it will simulate a link click. So how do I prevent users from accessing urls directly?

<?php 
$isAdded = ActiveSubject::find()->where(['clientid' => $_user,'subjectid' => $subjects['subjectid'],])->exists();
if($isAdded):
?>
<b><p class="text-muted">ADDED</p></b>
<?php else: ?>
<p>
<?= Html::a('<b>ADD</b>',['site/addsubject',    'subjectid'=>$subjects['subjectid'], 'clientid' => $_user],['class' => 'btn-info btn-transparent btn-large']) ?>
</p> 
<?php endif; ?>
</td>
<td>
<?= $subjects['slots'] ?>
</td>
 <td>
<?php if($isAdded): ?>
<p class="text-primary">Awaiting Confirmation</p>  
<?php endif; ?>

In controller

public function behaviors()
{
    return [
        'access' => [
            'class' => AccessControl::className(),
            'rules' => [
                [
                    'actions' => ['addsubject'],
                    'allow' => true,
                    'roles' => ['addsubject', 'yourmodelname'],
                ],
                [
                    'allow' => true,
                    'roles' => ['superAdmin', 'admin', 'managerModule1', 'managerApp'],
                ],   
            ],
        ],         
        'verbs' => [
            'class' => VerbFilter::className(),
            'actions' => [
                    'addsubject' => ['post'],
                ],
