reserved.variables

<?php

$page_was_from=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
echo $page_was_from;
?>

The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted.

ok, thankyou.

 

How can I check what webpage they were just on, and if it was the one It should be it executes some code? here's an example, but it doesn't work.

 

<?php
if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == header("Location: http://www.google.com/") {
echo("You were just at google!");
}
?>
