Http_referer

dcjones

Hi all,

I have search all the forums but was unable to find the solution to my problem.

Question:

I have a page with the following code:

<?
$from = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");

{print(" SYSTEM INFORMATION. Sorry you have tried to link to a page which does not accept visitors directly. <br>
<a href=http://www.mydomain/index..htm target=\"_self\">CLICK HERE</a> to enter");

exit;}

This code work fine providing the HTTP_REFERER is a page on my site. Should this work with pages linking from other sites.

Anyone have any comments.

Kind regards, keep safe and well.

HTTP_REFERER does not work all the time. I would suggest using sessions. I had the same problem once, and used session instead.

Hi and thanks for your reply.

I think your right, but I am not to hot on writing sessions.

Where the best place for examples, do you know.

Kind regards

Keep safe and well.
