Question

Can I check if page2.php was opened directly or I was redirected from page1.php

I tried with if(!header_sent()){} but it didn’t work.

please can anyone help me? thank you

Answer 1

Create a Session variable when a user visits page1.php, then on page2.php check if that session variable exists. If so, then the user was redirected from page1.php.

page1.php:

<?PHP
session_start();
$_SESSION['page1'] = true;

// then the rest of your PHP code

?>

page2.php:

<?PHP
session_start();

if( $_SESSION['page1'] ) {
    $current_referrer = 'page1.php';
}

// then the rest of your PHP code

?>

Obviously, this method is assuming that you’re only dealing with these two pages…
Hope this helps
