[RESOLVED] Problem with referer function

Sayian

See, i dont get mad. I laugh when things like this happen b/c i find it ammusing.

Ok, here we go.

Im building a function to check the referrer of a page, for form security ..

Yes, im fully aware that their are many other solutions (Captcha, ect) but im just testing some things.

So .. my function code

function check_referrer($path) {
	if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] != "http://www.domain.com" . $path) {
	echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
	echo "<br />";
	echo "http://www.domain.com" . $path;
	exit;
	}
}

Now, their is some echo's in their for debugging reasons. But, basically i had it to were if the referrers didnt match, it would send them to the homepage.

Ok, so what is the output of that function?

http://www.domain.com/lost/
http://www.domain.com/lost/

"/lost/" being the path entered into the param for the function.

Now, with an exact match, how can this be echoing out the paths?

Someone wanna xplain this to me, thanks.

You probably entered some difference between the two URLs, but the BB code has removed those distinctions. Re-enter them again using [ code] [ /code] tags.

A note: You will have more trouble with this variable. On the PC, Internet Explorer and Firefox will report different referrers.
