Redirect to a page if shared from Facebook

I don't know whether is this possible. I am creating a site in PHP. Is it possible to detect the previous url is from facebook/twitter, and if yes redirect to an another page?

In detail I have page A and B. There is a share button in page B. On clicking that button it will post title, image, description etc of the page B to facebook. But clicking that in facebook it will redirect to page A.

Can anyone help me?

If all your pages are on the same domain you can use sessions.

For external pages you can use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'].

I.e.

if ( $parts = parse_url( $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] ) ) {
   if($parts['host'] == "www.facebook.com"){
      //do something
    }
}
