I am looking for a way to detect which page a user comes from (the users referring page). If the user does not come from a page called “index.php”, they should be redirected to a page, like, google.com. Any programming language that can be embedded into an html file. Thanks!

    you can get the previouse url by :
    $_SERVER[‘HTTP_REFERER’]

    in some cases this can be forbidden by the browser user settings

    ‘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.

    check it on the php manual
    http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php
