Checking Referer

[fr600]

Hi guys,

I want to make http://localhost/download2.php inaccessible if anyone tries to access it directly. Instead it will only be accessible if it has been refered from http://localhost/download1.php

Is that possible? Thnx in advance...

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://localhost/download1.php')
{
    // echo HTML
}
else
{
    echo 'sorry, you must first go thru http://localhost/download1.php'; 
}

be advised: $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] is not very reliable.

I was using only cookies. But now, both cookies and referer check. THANKS TO YOU.

One more question, can you please tell me how to use multiple referers?
