Referer Trouble

[TheJoey]

Just want to show the link, thought this would work but its not displaying anything for me.

 

<?php

 

$show = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'];

 

echo "$show";

?>

'HTTP_REFERER'

The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modify HTTP_REFERER as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted.

assuming you are trying to view which site your vistor came from.

OH... btw your script is wrong..

 

echo "$show";

 

echo $show;

is there a different way to do it without referer?

[xcandiottix]

The only thing close to this that I've used is the function that grabs the visitors IP address.

 

You may want to cruise google for a stat tracker site or something if this is vital to what you are doing. Maybe someone else will know better.
