does someone know how you can prevent that people go direct to a page on my web
so when they type in the browser the url (example: www.domain.com/test.php they get an error
when the come to that page from another page from www.domain.com they dont get an error

use http_referer, then you can check the domain on that.

kinda don't really understand you but i think you want this, it is a server variable to check where someone came from, it can be fooled/spoofed/etc... fairly easily so beware...

echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; // will get you what you want

'HTTP_REFERER'
The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted.
