PHP Referer Help

daryllsheridan

Hi all

Having a bit of trouble with a referer check - hopefully some can help me out

Have the following code on a register page, i only want it to appear if the user comes from reg.php. If on reg.php i post a direct link to this page (as in <a href="register.php">sd</a> Then the code works fine and the user sees the message,

if ( eregi ( "www.daryllsheridan.com/student/reg.php", $_SERVER ) )
{
certain code
}

Thing is i have reg.php setup to use users via a header back to register.php and when its setup this way the code dosent work

the way the form works is that
register.php is a form and when submitted it gets processed on reg.php, if there is an error the user gets brought back to register.php and the above code would kick in and give them an error

Any ideas on how to get this working? Or a better way of achieving the same result?

if ($_SERVER == "http://www.daryllsheridan.com/student/reg.php")
{
do this
}

mess about with echoing different PHP super variables, seemed to iron out a lot of problems for me

cython

You could try using the command getenv("HTTP_REFERER"). I had to do this on something just recently and it seems to work well
