I created a custom success_handler for my login, and here I want to check if the referer was external or not. How do I best do this? 

$ref = $request->headers->get('Referer');

What is the best way to check if the referer is a local url (meaning: from within the symfony project) or external ?

Thanks in advance.

You can get a current domain

$this->getRequest()->getHost()

And then match it via regex see here: Regex to match simple domain

    I understood that, he wanted to check if project is external (IMHO external means from other domain?). – Pawel Jan 20 '15 at 14:00

    You could make the allowed hosts a parameter in parameters.yml and pass it along to the success_handler and check if $ref is in there – René Jan 20 '15 at 15:56
