=~ is for perl. sorry. eregi is for PHP.
it's the equiv of perl regular expresions

syntax: if eregi($look_for_this, $in_here) { do_this(); }

thank you. I will plead ignorance in one area. What exactly does the =~ do that the == does not? What does that mean?

Thank You for your help.

it's you environmenal variable... it should be $HTTP_REFERER

also, your 'else' needs 'header' before the ("Location: "), but you probably know that

you may want to use =~ ..... just depends how specific you want to be about the referer.

Good Luck,

What I'm trying to do is make it so that if the person did NOT come from a a certain page to this page then it automaticly sends them back to that page, if they did then it just does nothing.

I already tried to run this script as well as several variations. But it's not working for me. Probably my coding. But it gives me know error! Mabey I just have the "$REFER" variables wrong.

<?php
if ($REFER == "www.domain.com/thispage.html") {header("Location: ");} 

if ($REFER == "domain.com/thispage.html") {header("Location: ");}

else ("Location: [url]http://www.domain.com/thispage.html");}[/url]
?>

If you could please tell me what I'm doing wrong it would be very appreciated. Thanx!

Alex

I wrote a PHP script similar (Cheating Subdomains - PHP)
you could have it to do what you want fairly easy (if you know PHP)

If you have trouble, let me know and I'll write it for you

Good Luck,
