Add session to wp_get_referer()

  • Good day,

    I am having trouble adding a session to wp_get_referer().

    Here is my current code:

    <?php

// use the WordPress tag wp_get_referer to assign the referring URL to the variable $referer
$referer = wp_get_referer();
$_Session

// check if the URL is a specific one
if ( $referer == "https://site1.com" ) {

  echo '<span class="referrer-display"> <a href="itmsitedev.com/scol">RETURN TO YOGA FOR SCOLIOSIS</a> </span></p>';

} else {

  echo "";

}
?>

    It is currently working but when the user transfer to another page or refresh the page the text disappear. I want it to store it in a session. Can someone point me to the right direction thanks a lot.

    Note: This is the correct code 

    <?php

// use the WordPress tag wp_get_referer to assign the referring URL to the variable $referer
$referer = wp_get_referer();

// check if the URL is a specific one
if ( $referer == "https://site1.com" ) {

  echo '<span class="referrer-display"> <a href="itmsitedev.com/scol">RETURN TO YOGA FOR SCOLIOSIS</a> </span></p>';

} else {

  echo "";

}
?>

    $_Session

    is not included.

    Any time a request will result in the use of session variables, you must call session_stat() before any content is output. It’s sort of like how you must declare a global before any time you wish to use it.

    More on using sessions is here:

    Follow the links on the right after the jump for even more.
