I am trying to redirect all the users they are not being redirected from Facebook Ad to a regular static page instead of an Landing Page. The Landing Page should be visible just to the users they access it through a Facebook ad. If they are trying to access this landing page with direct URL or coming from different sources than they should be redirected to a different static page. Can be done just with javascript? and without modifying the .htaccess?

  • Maybe you can take a look at the `referer` HTTP header? It should contain the domain which referred you to the landing page. – Fjarlaegur Jan 16 '18 at 11:30

You could try to read out document.referrer in js and act accordingly (https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Document/referrer)

This should contain the page the user is comming from!

You may also take a look into the Referer HTTP Header to perform the redirection on the server side: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Referer

One of the way to check where the request is coming from is: $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']. But According to the official PHP documentation: "This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted".
