Hi Jewelbird,

Yes there is a simple way of blocking links from another specific website using php code.

Just add the following php code to the very begining of any web page on your website that you want to block the linking to ( usually this is would be the home page ).

You must place this code before the <head> statement or a headers already sent error will occur.

<?php
$refurl = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']);
$ref = getenv('HTTP_REFERER');
$referer = $refurl['host'];
$word = "ncomn.com";
$pos = strpos($referer, $word);
if ($pos === false){
// here if true - take no further action
}
else {
//Redirect the user back if false - link from website ncomn.com found
header("Location: $ref");
exit();
}
?>

Additionally add the following code to your .htaccess file to make sure the php code is correctly handled by the server.

AddHandler application/x-httpd-php .php .htm .html

The php code basically sends the person who clicks on any link on ncomn.com that points to your website, back to the website page they are currently on at ncomn.com.

By using $word = "ncomn.com"; the test function will cover all pages of the main ncomn.com website and any of its subdomains.

Hope this helps
