htaccess help required please

Hi all,

I wonder if someone could possibly help with this question.

Is it possible to block clicks coming from a site to my site and then redirect the person
to another page using a htaccess file??

Example:

If I have a number of clicks coming from (example) banana123.com I would want
those people to be redirected to a notallowed.html page

I would also want it to catch people where banana123 is in any part of the url so
news.banana123.com, banana123.co.uk, search.banana123.com etc - basically if
banana123 is included in any part of the url.

If anyone could help it would really be appreciated and probably save me a lot of grief :scared

Many thanks

Steve

I don't know about htaccess but if you are using php includes I suppose you add some code to your header? or just the page in question if all visitors are going to just one page to check if the referrer contains anything with banana123.com

something like;

if (strpos($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'], 'banana123.com') !== false){
header("Location: http://www.mysite.com/notallowed.html");
exit;
}

Hello Steve,

You can add this code in your .htaacess :-

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} banana123\.com [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} banana123\.co\.uk [NC,OR]
RewriteRule .* – [F]
</ifModule>

Hope this works for you

Many thanks guys for replying - much appreciated!

I got it in the end with:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} banana123 [NC]
RewriteRule .* notallowed.html [L]

Seems to be working at the mo'

Thanks again!

Cheers

Steve
