blocking referrals...?

[corizzle]

I've seen it done on *coughporncoughsitescough* where they don't let you access the page or site unless you came from one of the referral pages they have listed. I was wondering how they did this and if it's possible for me to get that code/script in either JS or CGI.

If ANYONE can shed some light on this, I would be extremely appreciative.

Show me an exmple of one please. But I think if you are talking about what I think you're talking about... they used Javascript and used the history function where it checks where your comming from. If you didn't come from a certain location they're going to block your access. Go through this set of tutorials for js, should help you... http://webmonkey.wired.com/webmonkey/programming/javascript/tutorials/tutorial2.html

That's exactly what I'm looking for, but that tutorial barely touches the "history" subject (only one page). Do you know how to do it?

if($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] != "http://your.ref/url") { exit; }

well say i wanted to make visitors visit a certain page on my site before getting to a certain page, how would i do that?

example:

MAKE USERS VISIT:
INBETWEEN.HTML BEFORE GOING TO BETWEEN.HTML
(even when typing in the url of BETWEEN.HTML)

Try


header("Location: page.html");

[corizzle]

Try


header("Location: page.html");


Thanks, but before I do it, what will this code do exactly?

[stuffradio]

It does what it says it does :D
just redirect anyone who visits the page to the location you specify. In this case it'll redirect them to yourname.com/page.html

[corizzle]

meh. =/ Thanks for the effort, but that's not what I need, I can use Javascript for a page redirect...
