Display php script only if from referer?

[thepassionofchad]

Hi, I'm quite new to php and coding in general. I need a script that would display another php script only if someone was sent to the page from a specific referer. Can anyone help me out here? Thanks from the noob.

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

contains the referral URL. Remember that it gets sent by the browser so it can't be trusted 100%. If the referral URL is on your site you could use sessions to get the referral URL.

Sorry, I'm a bit more of a noob than that. I did a little more research, so it goes:

 

<?php

 

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']="https://www.link.com"){

include('script.php');

 

}

 

?>

So if the person comes through link.com, then the page will include script.php?

Yes, but = is the assignment operator, you should be using == to compare things. Also they could probably leave out the "www." and then it wouldn't work. Or put a slash at the end of the URL. So you'll have to check the HTTP_REFERER with those too.

Thanks, I'll try it out and see if it works alright for the site.
