Access only from a specific URL? 1

[donem]

Is there a way to make a directory or even just a page accessible from only a certain URL?

Example:
If i'm on

http://www.tek-tips.com/abc.html

and there is a link on there to

http://www.mydomain.com/protected

(or

http://www.mydomain.com/protected/sumtin.html),

can I make it so that

http://www.mydomain.com/protected

(or

http://www.mydomain.com/protected/sumtin.html)

is only accessible if they come from

http://www.tek-tips.com/abc.html

?

Hi mate,

I am sorry to tell you this but I just checked out your page and have found there are a few things that you can do to cancel the redirect.

If you enter the page and click on the STOP button on your browser a few times then the script doesn`t redirect you.

Also if you click refresh a few times the same happens.

One thing I would change is the meta refresh.

Change this to <META HTTP-EQUIV=REFRESH CONTENT=&quot;1

This will speed up the redirect and the other thing to do is put the SSI tag back up to the very top of the page.

If you only plan to use this script on the URL you provided then you won`t have a problem but I wouldn`t use it on a page you want to keep totally secure.

Hope this helps Wullie

i know you can still get to it by hitting stop. i will try putting the ssi at the very top. yeah, i won't use it on anything too important. thanks again.
