Detect Domain

Anon

Hey

is it posible to detect a users domain name.
to allow/disallow access to files.

i wont to let user from a specefik domain view some php file with out the need of passwords and all others be redirected to a error page.

user1 = user1.grant.access
user2 = user2.access.denied

Use phpinfo() and test see what you can use to identify people.

I'm not sure, but it can be $REMOTE_URL.

You can't test their domain name.
As if founders of phpbuilder would come from phpbuilder.com

What is it you want to do??
If - the users you want to grant access - comes from a secure intranet, you can use HTTP_REFERER

For example.
if ($HTTP_REFERER == "www.myoffice.com/intranet/page.html") {
header("location: the_secret_page.php");
} else {
echo '<input name=password>....';
}

OR eregi the $HTTP_REFERER for "www.myoffice.com/intranet".

use the $REMOTE_HOST environment variable.

example:

if ($REMOTE_HOST == "my.friends.hostname.com")
{echo"welcome"; }
else { echo"access denied"; exit;}

i want to detect if it user comes from a specefik network "mysite.dk" and only let people in if they do the site is on a remote server.

the REMOTE_HOST is proberly correct but can not resolve my hostname where i am now

What is wrong with phpinfo()?
It shows both SERVER_HOST and REMOTE_HOST (should be equal if you're on the same computer).

Ask a friend to visit a page of yours (that has phpinfo()) and ask him to copy the output to you.
