ANy way to stop site from being redirected?

basil

I have a web site that someone is linking to from thier own site. No problem there, but the way they are doing it is that they are re-directing to my site from another URL. Then, when you click on this other URL, my site does come up, but it comes up in a frame with their site's banner on top as if it is THEIR site and not mine. Repeated attempts to contact the owner and ask them to link direct to my site if they want to link have gone unanswered.

My question: Is there anyway in PhP (or other wise) to check if someone is being re-directed to my site from an alias URL? (and perhaps display a different page if that is the case).

Any suggestions or am I just stuck with it?

UPdate: What is being done is that the person is placing my site in a frame of a page on their site. So, when a person clicks the lick they see my site (in a frame) but the address in the URL is not my URL it is the URL to this person's frames page. Is there a way (maybe with PhP) to check on what address is in a person's Browser and do a compare. If the address isn't mine, maybe I could bring up an error message?

You could use the HTTP_REFERER variable to check referring page and display error message if it comes from a specific domain (string match).

Hi,

You can check wether a page is in frame using javascript. If it is, you can break out of it:

<script>
if (self != top) // Checking for nesting in other sites
    top.location.replace(self.location);
</script>

You guys are great! This place is such a tremedous resource! I'll play around with these ideas and see if I can solve my problem.

Thanks!

This worked perfectly! Thanks! Is there any way to have it go to a different page (like an error page I design) instead using this same concept?

Never mind. I just figured it out by brute force. I simply replaced B[/B] with b[/b] where "mywarningURL" is just a page that has a warning message on it and then a direct link link to my site.
