PHP wildcard?

[Sketch]

What is the wildcard in PHP? Is it * or %?

IOW, this script (at the bottom of ./global.php) is supposed to check the referer and based on whether the refere is coming from one url or another set a variable...

It doesn seem to be workiong properly...

PHP Code:

//HACK CHECK FOR REFERER STYLE
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == '*forums.barefooting.com')
{
$bbuserinfo[styleid]=3;
}
if ($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] == '*forum.hostareus.com')
{
$bbuserinfo[styleid]=1;
}

//END HACK
?>

Well form my other experience it has been *

but it usually worked like

*.domain.com

???

You could use a regular expression instead.

PHP Code:

<?php
if (preg_match('/^[.]+(forum\\.hostareus\\.com)$/', $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])) {
    $bbuserinfo['styleid'] = 1;
}
?>

Be sure to escape the periods after forum and hostareus.
