Can only enter site from certain URL.

[Jahova]

Hey there, is there like a PHP script to stop people coming from somewhere else such as just from typing the url into the browser. But only able to view the site if they were directed from another page on the site.

If you could tell me if this is possible and where I could find code to do this, then that would be great.

$_SERVER[HTTP_REFERER]

<?php

if($_SERVER[HTTP_REFERRER] == "url") {

page here

}else{
exit("Access Denied");
}
?>

But be aware people can quite easily spoof it.

If you want it to allow someone who was directed from any url it would be:

if( $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERRER] == NULL ) {
. die('soz no access');\
} else {

}

Any like security I could add, ect?

Sorry for double post, but the limit has just expired!
None of the above seem to work for me, and what I want is like;

if( $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERRER] == "pagea.php" ) {
SHOW THE PAGE, otherwise..
} else {
exit("Sorry, you need to follow the correct url.");
}

I think it has to be an absolute url. If that still doesn't work try changing $_SERVER[HTTP_REFERRER] to $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER']. There is no way of stopping it from being spoofed. You could add a cookie on pagea.php and check for it on pageb.php instead.

If you're serious about this I would try to HTTP referrer method and the cookie method - that way people will only get through if they can really be bothered

KK thanks.
