Re: Tricky question - referrer from ousite, or from intern?

IFF they just left one of your other sites, then you should be able to pass a variable in the other site's header such as: php.net/function-name?variable=from_somewhere_I_own if the variable isn't set, then they came from a site you don't own. or you could send them to a unique function-name where you can then record a hit on that function-name. <?php function unique_name() { $hit="came from my other site"; pseudo code -- store $hit; function run_me(you really want to run) } ?> ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andy" <news.letters@gmx.de> To: <php-general@lists.php.net> Sent: Monday, August 26, 2002 10:58 PM Subject: [PHP] Tricky question - referrer from ousite, or from intern? > Hi there, > > I have a tricky problem which I honestly think is not possible to solve. > However maybe I am wrong. > > As you all know it is possible on php.net to pass a function name just > behind the adress (e.G. php.net/function-name) this will redirct to the > propper page.
