Hot Linking Script...

[nixonja]

The bad news is your hotlink script did not work very well. I was able to refresh and circumvent the hot linking page quite eaisly. Please work on your hotlink script and resolve this issue.

Is someone able to tell me what's wrong with the above?

[CareBear]

maybe he used http://yourdomain.net/someimage.jpg ? :confused:
That wouldn't fit any of the regular expressions

[ducktape]

this works for me http://bennettweb.tripod.com/hotlink.html is a tripod page i have to test it

http://neonsonline.com is my real site

And I made the hotlink image big to blow out someones layout if they are using my images in a table. You prolly wont want to but this is my server so i have plenty of bandwidth
