I know this is pretty ridiculous but I am looking for a script that only allows that page to be viewed from a specific origin page. IE if you want to view example.com/somepage.html you have to come from example.com/thepageyouareallowedtocomefrom.html LOL. I know its crazy and there may be better ways to do what I am thinking of but anything that would get the job done would be great. Basic js or php would work best. Thanks guys!

Its a good question, its too crazy.
Webmasters please take it as a challenge.

That could be done with .htaccess (possibly) or with cookies (probably), take a look at this article:

Good luck!

Yeah you can do this with php and luckily its pretty basic. What you are asking about is called the Referer URL. In PHP it is accessed like so: "@$HTTP_REFERER"

here is an example that tests if the user came from 'http://www.example.com/allow.html'


<?php
$ref=@$HTTP_REFERER;
if($ref == 'http://www.example.com/allow.html')
{
echo "<html><head></head><body><p>Hello World!</p></body></html>";
}
else
{
die "Wrong way";
}
?>

Thats a simple example. And with alittle more work you could have it doing what you want.

Exactly what i was thinking

Use >>>>>> $ref=@$HTTP_REFERER;

Then add a normal if function

Note that the people may come from

http://www.example.com/allow.html or http://example.com/allow.html



So....


<?php
$ref=@$HTTP_REFERER;
if($ref == 'http://www.example.com/allow.html' OR $ref == 'http://example.com/allow.html' )
{
echo "<html><head></head><body><p>Hello World!</p></body></html>";
}
else
{
die "Wrong way";
}
?>

$ref=@$HTTP_REFERER
This is depreciated use $ref=$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] instead.

Maybe a differrent approach like using a password lock for the page mentioned.
