HELP! I have been trying to implement a PHP solution that will limit access to a particular web page \<content.php\> unless someone has agreed to the terms of the conditions page \<conditions.html\> I have tried using the HTTP\_REFERER command but I run into difficulties when I implement the script in Explorer. The script works fine in Netscape though.

Could someone please look at the following and provide some insight as to what I might be doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!  
\<?php  
$from = $\_SERVER[‘HTTP\_REFERER’];

if ($from != “[http://www.site.com/conditions.html](http://www.site.com/conditions.html)”)

{print(" Sorry you have tried to link to a page which does not accept visitors directly. \<br\>  
\<a href=http://www.site.com/conditions.html\>CLICK HERE\</a\> to enter");  
exit;}
