checking

[New to VB 6]

I looked in the PHP manual but I could not find anything about checking to see if you reached a page from a certain url.
if it is in the manual then I don't know what to look under.

I there any way to check if a page has been visited from a specific URL.

i.e.

if url = "http://someurl.com/thispage.php

then

some output

else

"You reached this page illeagaly please go back"

if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == 'http://someurl.com/thispage.php') {

}

But, as the manual says:

The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted.

And no. There is no alternative.
