HTTP_REFERER

[Anon]

I need to get HTTP_REFERER from the environment variables in PHP but it's not included in the phpinfo() listing. I understand that PHP needs to be compiled with track-env or something, just like track-vars for POST variables.

I have access to the VirtualHost configuration and priviliges for just about anything else. Is there any way I can do this without a recompile? I just don't have the skill to recompile on a live server.

Thanks very much.

The HTTP_REFERER var is dependent on two main things:

1) The web server PHP is running under (ie Apache)

2) The browser requesting the page

HTTP_REFERER is a <i>Server</i> or <i>Apache</i> variable, not an environment variable. I am not aware of any way to turn this variable on or off...

getenv("HTTP_REFERER");

This will solve your problem.
