How to check your users come from your site or not

Posted by JulienD on October 6, 2010 at 8:48am

Here is a code snippet to check if the user come from your site or not

<?php
global $base_url;
if (($referer_uri = referer_uri()) && (preg_match("!^$base_url/!", $referer_uri))) {
  // Do your stuff
}
?>

Only works for authenticated users

Thank you for the script. It works great!

But only for authenticated users. I found that when the user is not logged in referer_uri() doesn't return anything.

In fact, $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] doesn't return anything to anonymous users.

Thoughts? Maybe I'm missing something obvious (usually the case).

I tried using this in D7 without success :-(

I wanted to use referer_uri() in a 2-step product order process in Ubercart. Couldn't get it to work for anonymous users. So I stuck with the following snippet and got it to work just fine:

<?php
$last_page_visited = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];
if(preg_match('/order-step1/', $last_page_visited) && preg_match('/cart/', current_path()))
{
drupal_goto($path = 'order-step2');
}
?>
