redirect based on http_referer

[KevMuskoka]

I'm looking to only allow a page to be opened if it is clicked from two pages, example1.html or example2.html. If it isn't opened by either of those, it will go to a sorry.html page. I have been able to successfully do this using one or the other, but not where it will accept both. It shows as if the code doesn't even exist:

WORKS: redirect if not from example1.html
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] != "example1.html") { header('Location:sorry.html'); }

DOESN'T WORK: redirect if not from either example1 or example2
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] != "example1.html" || $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] != "example2.html") { header('Location:sorry.html'); }

I also haven't been able to get it to work using elseif.

Any ideas why ?

you should be using and, not or.

If they do not come from X and do not come from Y, redirect.....

Also, use exit(); after any redirect header().

Thanks that did it.
