[thelist] header:location and $http_referer in php

[Hans Zaunere]

This might be a PHP configuration issue or a browser
issue.  If register_globals is not enabled (as it
should be) you'll need to access this variable by
$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER'] in versions previous
to 4.1.0, or $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] in later
versions.

Also, some browsers just don't set this variable
correctly, and it should not be trusted.  I would pass
something in the URL, etc.
