 Check the script that records the click.  It shouldn't have any output,
 spaces, or extra lines before or after ?php ?

  Hi,
 
  newbie question
 
  I have a linked image, I want to track the users/times the image has
been
  clicked.
 
  I've set up another .php page that populates a database with the click,
  then
  I wanted to:
Header(Location: http://someothersite );
 
  but I get the lovely Headers already set error message.
 
  Any suggestions please?  Locations of tutorials on this sort of thing.

Ed,

Sorry it redirects now but on checking the database is no longer being
updated?

?php

require_once('/home/virtual/site/var/www/cgi-bin/Connections/DB_connection
_script.php');
 $newUserTracking = mysql_query(INSERT INTO track (user,type) VALUES ('
','Join'));
 Header(Location:
https://secure.ibill.com/cgi-win/ccard/rscookie.exe?RevShareID=what
everreturnto=http://www.google.com/index.htm;);
?

Help

Re: [PHP] previous page

[cab]

Larry,

Thanks all makes sense, but, if I add this:
?php
echo($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER']);
?
I don't get anything back when the page is called?

 Yes, you could check the value of $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] but that's
 not perfect. Instead, you could have the previous page contain a form
 with a special hidden input. The form is submitted to the protected
 page, where you check for that hidden input's value. If that protected
 page doesn't receive $_POST data containing whatever meaningful data,
 redirect them accordingly.

 Hope that helps,
 Larry

Re: [PHP] previous page

[cab]

Was ready after searching www.google.com  and yes your right about the
incorrect spelling of the variable.

I also found that some firewalls block the information.

So, I now have to go back to the drawing board and build the form.  Easy if
it was as simple as a form and a submit button but this is a complex spliced
image.

 Yes, that can happen, which is why I said it wasn't perfect. I think
 using some sort of form to go through is the better option.

[PHP] previous page

[cab]

Hi People,

Just need a bit of direction to a resource or tutorial on this one please.

I have a .php page I don't want anyone being able to just open it unless
they've been through a previous page that is a disclaimer http referrer etc
come to mind but not exactly sure how to implement it in PHP.

You kind considerate suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks
CAB
