PHP - Help With Referring System

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

Hello People,

I've been racking my brains, searching google and trawling through the many pages here to see if someone else has already asked the same question but I cant find it.

I'm trying to build a simple redirect script based on the referring URL.

I want to direct the user to "page a" if any of the arrays are found and "page b" if not.

This is what I have so far

Code: [Select]
<?php 

$main_string="@$HTTP_REFERER";

$arr = array('aaaa','bbbb','cccc');

foreach($arr as $key => $search_needle) {

if(stristr($main_string, $search_needle) != FALSE) 
{
echo "<meta http-equiv=Refresh content=0;url=http://www.google.com/PAGEA.html>";
}
} 

?>
I thought that it might be a case of adding the "else" command but doing that will always redirect to "page b" if all of the arrays aren't true and only 1 needs to be.

Anyone got any ideas?

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:

 * 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!

$_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
