HTML Question SORRY

[dcjones]

Hi all,

HTML. Like most website I have more than one page. Is there a way of controlling the following:

How do you force a user to go to a home page even when they type in a URL to a page on a site that is not the home page.

i.e.

Website home page is: http://www.mysite/index.htm

User types http://www.mysite/travel/x.htm

Is there a comman or script that can do this.

Many thanks in advance and I am sorry its a HTML question and not a PHP.

It's not HTML question, rather a PHP one 🙂

Check $HTTP_REFERER:

<?
if (!preg_match('/www.yourserver.com/i', $HTTP_REFERER))
{
header('Location: [url]http://www.yourserver.com[/url]');
exit;
}
?>

But I think that it's not very nice practice to force your visitors to go to the first page (in case you have no strong need to do it).

Hi and thanks,

Your right, its not a good idea to force this and I have just thought of a way around my problem.

Thanks for you input
