Send to "page" if not come from "page" Help

[Andrew121007]

I am making a store. And i am using paypal to make all the payments. Now i put the return URL to galkonspride.com/return.htm (Not real, just an example) and in that page i want to make a script that says if the person doesnt come from https://paypal.com/* then send him to fpsmedia.tk

 

Something like

If href!=https://paypal.com/*

{

header("fpsmedia.tk")

}

 

Im sure that is wrong but I cant remember much lol. Any help would be appreciated.

you can use HTTP_REFERER, but the client's browser is setting it, therefore it's not 100% guaranteed to be there or be correct.

 

<?php
  if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] && 'www.paypal.com' != parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER],PHP_URL_HOST)){
    header("http://fpsmedia.tk");
    exit;
  }
  //Continue loading page
?>

Ok ill try it out. Thanks ill reply if it doesnt work.

 

Mmh It still lets me in even after i added the script.

what happens with this:

 

<?php
  if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] && 'www.paypal.com' != parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'],PHP_URL_HOST)){
    header("http://fpsmedia.tk");
    exit;
  }
  die("Got the URL: ".$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
?>

This appears

Got the URL: 

lol

So a referer isn't getting set.

 

In that case, I don't know of a way to check.

There is no sure-fire way of checking... it's as simple as that. You'll have to check your transactions and verify the user has payed... This is quite easily done using cURL or existing php->paypal api scripts
