[thelist] Q on $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

[David Travis]

This is a header, which the browser adds, you should check with which
browser you work, not all of them add it. Further more, I can tip you that
in IE the referrer is added only when the user browses to a page using a
link (<a> tag). If the user arrived to the page with a JavaScript (location
object) the referrer is not available, why? Dunno...   :)

HTH,
David Travis.

Subject: [thelist] Q on $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

I'm using:
 - NT 4.0 Server
 - Apache/2.0.47 (Win32)
   mod_perl/1.99_10-dev
   Perl/v5.8.0
   mod_ssl/2.0.46
   OpenSSL/0.9.7b
   PHP/4.3.4

When I do this:

   print_r ( $_SERVER );

I do not get:

  [HTTP_REFERER]

How do I get the URI of the page the user came from when they drop into
my pages?

Thanks

Walter
