Array of URL?

Reggie35

Hi all,

I am trying fetch the domain name from a referering url and I believe this should be done by using an array.

A typical refered url:
this is a refered url -> http://www.phpbuilder.com/board/

and this is what it should be narrowed down to -> phpbuilder.com <-, by using the array.

The reason why I want this, is that I want my php script to recognize a referring domain and redirect it accordingly (and without using Javascripts).

Any help is very much appreciated. TIA.

btw, this is how it is done using a Javascript.

(placed inside the head tags):

<script language="javascript">
var refarray = new Array();
refarray['phpbuilder.com'] = "../phpbuilder/";
for (var i in refarray) {
if (document.referrer.indexOf(i) != -1) window.location.replace(refarray[i]);
}
</script>

I want to avoid the head tags and trim the refering url using

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

l know this is a long shot, and I have no idea what I am doing here, but I was just thinking it should be done doing something like this:

   $url = Array(
  'phpbuilder.com',
  'google.com',
   //etc.
  );
  // trim the url (not sure how)

  if ($referer == "$url "){
  //Redirect the refering url
  }

Thanks for any help.

$url = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
echo $url['host'];

please note: $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is not very reliable

Thanks a lot, devinemke. I really appreciate your help.
I will keep in mind your note about the reliability. Is there another way then?
