QUERY: Stop a website from linking to a clients site

[CSPO]

Hi,
A certain web site has linked to a clients site. The client does not want this link between the two sites to occur, as the link may mislead the user.

Is there a bit of code that will redirect any pages that come from the offending URL to my clients URL?

I have searched the web, but nothing comes up, except for stopping others from linking to your images.

Regards

Not sure of the syntax but you can def do this in .htaccess file

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{http_referer} ^http://(www\.)?sitetoblock.com.*$
RewriteRule .* - [F,L]

or you could do a specific check in PHP by looking at the value of $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and redirecting/changing content dynamically as needed.

I am sure that others will correct my syntax if wrong :D
