if you do: "echo $HTT_REFERER" you will notice that it includes the http://

Its $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], and its also a tad unreliable as it depends heavily on the client. Anyway... the syntax would be...
[code]
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://www.something.com/123.php') {
  require '123_top_template.php';
} else {
  require 'top_template.php';
}
[/code]

The previously two posted codes would both work.
1) We assume that he knows at least part of what he's doing, and would understand that register_globals is on therefore it would be $HTTP_REFERER.
2) You don't need brackets around the if statements, as long as there's only going ot be one line of response to the statement.
2) Thorpe is right, HTTP_REFERER depends very heavily on the client. If the client doesn't send the header, you don't get it...A lot of the lower end clients that some people seem to like don't have it.
