(.htaccess question) Redirect page with condition: traffic source

by matahari

Is it possible to create a redirect page that triggered by traffic source? For example:

Main site: abc.com
- If someone referred to abc.com from website xxx.com, nothing happens
- If someone referred to abc.com from website zzz.com, then they would be redirect to vvv.com

I hope this make sense. Thank you.

    YES, you can use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] 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.

      If you use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] in an .htaccess file you will generate a 500 error and break the website.

      The correct code for .htaccess is

      Code:
      RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://whatever.com
RewriteRule .* http://www.wherever.com [R=301,L]
      Signature

      ...Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just set there.
