toplay Posted May 14, 2006 Share Posted May 14, 2006 This gets sent by the browser (if even a browser is used) and so it's not 100% reliable. Some browsers might not send it but most do. It also can be faked/altered by users/hackers.Sometimes when you're testing locally instead of the Internet, it doesn't get passed/set.But make sure you're using $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] and not $HTTP_REFERER.
