The problem is that the php code on WEBSITEA.COM is not redirecting to WEBSITEB.COM even if there is a referer. I tested by creating a test.html page in a different folder. I checked the headers by using a FF plug-in called, "Tamper Data". When it gets to WEBSITEA.COM where it's supposed to redirect in "Temper Data" it says the referer is /Test/Test.htm so there is a referer. Although it's not redirecting to WEBSITEB.COM
Here's the code:
Code: Select all
<?php
if ( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == "http://xxxxxx.com/link.php" ) {
Header ("Location: http://WEBSITE-B.COM"); exit(0);
} else {
}
?>
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>I put in the html tags since this is where the content of WEBSITEA.COM starts if you come to the website with no referer.
I think the problem is with the referer. Since in the above code it's redirecting based on the referer which it's specifying as: http://xxxxxx/link.php. However what I noticed by using, "Tamper Data" is that, the referer is being logged as the site that the link to link.php is placed on. So, if I place a link to http://xxxxx/link.php on Test/Test.htm it's going to specify the referer is Test/Test.htm not http://xxxxx/link.php as in the code above.
I tried modifying the code for testing purposes and changing the server referer line to /Test/Test.htm since this is what it is in "Tamper Data" and it still didn't work.
If I type in the url of WEBSITEA.COM directly into the address bar, I do end up getting the content of WEBSITEA.com so this part is working. It's just not redirecting to WEBSITEB.com if you come through a referer.
If it makes any difference, http://xxxxxx.com/link.php which links to WEBSITEA.COM is always going to be the same link, http://xxxxxx.com/link.php. This link.php is important in determining where the user is redirected. It doesn't matter to me what the referer is since the actual website that links to http://xxxxx.com/link.php will change.
I've been searching for google and trying to set this up for several hours!
Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks!
