PHP - Referring Url Redirect

Hello everyone,

I'm having real trouble with something I'm sure most of you would find easy....

...here we go.....

...I want a redirect script based on referring URL. More specifically, a small part of the referring URL.

example....

ad is placed on Bing, if someone clicks on the ad they get directed to a URL starting "0.r.msn.com/?Id=54r645f3345e" which redirects to my site. I want the referrer checker to looks specifically for the ".r.msn.com/?Id=" and if it's present let the visitor through to the site. The reason I only want it to check for that small part of the URL is because the bits before and after are variables and that is the only "static" part.

However, if someone arrives at my site by not clicking on an ad, I want them to go somewhere completely different, let just say for arguments sake,  google.com.

This is what I have so far...


<?php
$_GET = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if ($_GET == '.r.msn.com')
{
header('Location: http://www.mysite.com');
}
else
{
header('Location: http://www.google.com');
}
?>



I must be missing something, please help.

Thanks

Hey!

I am having issues with my site not going to the correct page after submitting a form to login or register or anything in that regards. The script that referrers the user is poster below:

 * The Process class is meant to simplify the task of processing
 * user submitted forms, redirecting the user to the correct
 * pages if errors are found, or if form is successful, either
 * way. Also handles the logout procedure.

All it does is bring you to a unknown page.

Thanks!

I have 2 referring url.   USERNAME http://testsite.com/...gister&ref=test USER ID http://testsite.com/...gister&ref_id=1   1. Code to remember  ref and ref_id 2. Code to allow user to insert own referrer if no ref link detected? 3. Store ref and ref_id into same column Like db referrer = username/user_id or referrer = username / referrer_id = user_id ?   PHP

$ref_id = isset($_GET['ref_id']) ? filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ref_id', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : '');
$ref = isset($_GET['ref']) ? filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ref', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : '');

FORM

if(!empty($_GET['ref_id'])){
    print '
	<tr>
    	<td style="font-weight:bold">Referred by user id #</td>
    	<td><input type="text" name="ref_id" maxlength="255" style="width:200px" value="'.cleanOutput($ref_id).'"></td>
  	</tr>';
	
}else{
    print '
	<tr>
    	<td style="font-weight:bold">Referred by</td>
    	<td><input type="text" name="ref" maxlength="255" style="width:200px" value="'.cleanOutput($ref).'"></td>
  	</tr>';
	
}

2. 

$ref = isset($_GET['ref']) ? filter_input(INPUT_GET, 'ref', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : (isset($_POST['ref']) ? filter_input(INPUT_POST, 'ref', FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING) : '');

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];  <-- this returns the full path.

Can I return the referring page name only?

ie) somepage.php

Cheers

Hello,

When I use this function, the time always refers to January 1st 1970 ?! How come?
I get the output '4 decades 1 year 11 months' regardless of which date I enter into the function.. ?

Code: [Select]
function timeAgo($tm,$rcs = 2) {
    $cur_tm = time(); $dif = $cur_tm-$tm;
    $pds = array('second','minute','hour','day','week','month','year','decade');
    $lngh = array(1,60,3600,86400,604800,2630880,31570560,315705600);
    for($v = sizeof($lngh)-1; ($v >= 0)&&(($no = $dif/$lngh[$v])<=1); $v--); if($v < 0) $v = 0; $_tm = $cur_tm-($dif%$lngh[$v]);
 
    $no = floor($no); if($no <> 1) $pds[$v] .='s'; $x=sprintf("%d %s ",$no,$pds[$v]);
    if(($rcs > 0)&&($v >= 1)&&(($cur_tm-$_tm) > 0)) $x .= timeAgo($_tm, --$rcs);
    return $x;
}

When I call for the function I use this:
Code: [Select]
timeAgo($row['dateposted'])

The format in the database for 'dateposted' is:
Code: [Select]
2006-08-14 23:29:23

Any ideas what I am doing wrong? Thanks a million
