preg_match not working

[snails07]

here is my code below

 

PHP Code:

<?php

    $referer = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; 

    
    if (preg_match('/\/search\//', $referer)); {?>
<p><a href="javascript:history.back(-1);">Previous Page</a></p>

<?php } ?>

 

I am basically trying to say that if the users previous page url contained the word ‘search’ (ie. Coming from the search page) then display the javascript back link.

It displays the link even if the previous page url does not contain the word ‘search’.

What have I done wrong here??

Thanks in advance

Why is there a semi-colon on the line with preg_match ?
