[Resolved] prevent page direct linking

[30minutes]

Hi. Basically what I'm trying to do is to prevent people from typing for example http://mysite.com/music.php in their browser and seeing the page.Instead, I would like to have a message as simple as "You do not have permission to directly view this page"

I've tried several ways to do this and here is what I've come up with:

if (eregi("music.php",$PHP_SELF)) {
    echo "You do not have permission to directly view this page!";
    die();
{

This still shows the message whether I type in the url or if accessed from another page.Any help?

Is it a form the submitted to music.php?

I would check for a referr see if they wered referred by a site, if they werent then give that error.

if(!$HTTP_REFERER) {
  // error
}

I'm not familiar with http_referer, can you please explain to me in more detail?

[iceraider]

Just says if the site was referred by another site.

So if someone clicks on your link elsewhere you will be able to get in, if they just type it in then they got no Referral
