[RESOLVED] Cant get script to Stop when i need it to

i cant get script to stop when i need it to.
The script is supposed to check the referrer and if it is 1 of 2 sites its Supposed to Stop and do Nothing else. But for some reason it sill continues to run even if i use exit, exit(), or die Can you help me understand what is going wrong?

 



<?
$referrer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

// check referrer 1
if (preg_match("http://tucson-appliance-repair.com/*",$referrer)) {
// Do this to referrer match 1 
    exit();
// check referrer 2
} elseif (preg_match("http://m.tucson-appliance-repair.com/",$referrer)) {
// do this to match 2  

   exit();
} else {
  require_once('mobile_device_detect.php');

mobile_device_detect(true,false,true,true,true,true,true,'http://m.tucson-appliance-repair.com/',false);
};

?>

You need to check your error logs (after ensuring that error_reporting has been set to E_ALL) and/or enable display_errors, because you aren't using valid [man]PCRE[man] regular expression patterns, and PHP will emit errors to indicate this.

Either use valid PCRE regexp syntax, or simply use something like [man]strpos/man to check if one string appears in another.

the script doesnt throw any errors it just continues to Run The last part of the script which redirects a user to the mobile site. the idea is that if referrer matches one of 2 sites then it will not redirect them because they clicked on a link to come back to primary site

the script should stop if the referrer matches.... but it doesnt 🙁

<?
 $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

 if (( $referer == "http://www.eample.com/" )||( $referer == "http://example.com/" ))  {
//     echo "Welcome!";

 } else {
// do something 	
i

//  echo "Welcome desktop user";
//     echo "$referer";
 }

 ?>

Brad Grafleman has pointed out what's wrong
Check out strpos() as he linked to and you should be able to figure out what to do
It should be simpler to understand than preg_match as well.
