i need to redirect based on referrer

for example

#if source www.site.com/folder/0123 >> go link1

or
##if source www.site.com/folder/4567 >> go link 2

or
##if source www.site.com/folder/89xx >> go link3

else , in case the user doesn?t sent his referrer or come from any other source >> just go link4

PS: my current redirect script is .js file not inside html file

thanks

Javascript? It can easily be done in php.

the reason i prefer javascript because i will be able to see stats via analytic

php execute faster than anything else

Simple version:

<script type="text/javascript">

if(document.referrer=='http://www.site.com/folder/0123')
{
window.location='http://whatever_url_1.com ';
}
else if(document.referrer=='http://www.site.com/folder/4567')
{
window.location='http://whatever_url_2.com ';
}
else if(document.referrer=='http://www.site.com/folder/89xx')
{
window.location='http://whatever_url_3.com ';
}
else
{
window.location='http://whatever_url_4.com ';
}

</script>

sarettah this worked with me just after doing little change

if (document.referrer.indexOf('https://gfy.com/') > -1)
    {
     window.location='http://yahoo.com';
}
else if (document.referrer.indexOf('https://gfy.com/forum') > -1)
    {
     window.location='http://msn.com';
}
else 
  {
     window.location='http://www.google.com';
}

thanks

Browsers do not always provide a document.referrer. If the referrer is from a https it is blocked, or if the security settings in the broswer block it none is provided. These people will never get past the page and will be cut off from being able to use your site

they will go to http://www.google.com , right ?

Well, it appears to me that you will never send anyone to msn.com with that.

Your first condition document.referrer.indexOf('https://gfy.com/') > -1 should send anyone from gfy to yahoo. Since the second condition also includes the first condition it will never be hit.

So, if you wanted to do that switch condition 1 and 2 around. Make condition 1 be gfy.com/forum and condition 2 be just gfy. That way the ones to the forums will be redirected to msn and then anyone else from gfy will be redirected to yahoo.

I had done the exact match conditions because you had included specific pages in your example. As I said, it was a very simple version.

Glad it worked for you.

I suggest you should use ModRewrite (htaccess) with that.
