.htaccess experts please read and help..

Is it possible to detect the referring domain and re-direct the surfer somewhere else using .htaccess?

javascript won't let me redirect and also just ignore the redirects if it comes from somewhere it's supposed to - it wants to send them to ANOTHER page...

I just want to send surfers who click on a link to my site from a certain domain to be redirected somwhere otherwise the page would load fine...

how do yo do this without impacting the site itself? I am hoping .htaccess

I know it can be done using php but I have no idea how php works etc. - I need a more simplier solution :p

thx

In either .htaccess or httpd.conf:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://www.somedomain.com/$
RewriteRule ^.*$ http://www.someotherdomain.com

thanks big E,

can you stick this file in a certain folder and have it effect just that folder?

and do you just repeat the line to add multiple domains to redirect from?

thanks

You can, but you've got to make sure that you've got 'Options AllowOveride' for that directory in the httpd.conf as well.

migth want to add one more line to that incase traffic is sent without the www.

not sure if it makes a difference or not.

RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://somedomain.com/$
