I don't see the connection to PHP here. This is a client-side issue. Moved.

This is a php issue because it needs a permission based system using sessions or cookies.

With a referal check it can easily be done

I would recommend setting a session or cookie variable valid for a specific period of time.

ie (psuedo)

Code: Select all

// you have to be here first..

session_start();
$_SESSION['isAuthorized'] = 'yes';
$_SESSION['authTime'] = // microtime or something

Code: Select all

// now you can look at this..

session_start();
if (!empty($_SESSION['isAuthorized']) && ($_SESSION['isAuthorized'] == 'yes') && ($_SESSION['authTime'] >= ($now - 20000))) {
  // display the page

} else {
  header("Location: http://gobacktowhereyoucamefrom.com");
}
