Need help getting URL

Anon

Ok, this is quite weird for me...

I\'m trying to get URL from a referring search engine, something like this:

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=UTF8&oe=UTF8&q=buy+zuul

and to see it through something like this:
<? echo (\"$HTTP_REFERER\"); ?>

When I create a link on a test page to the page that contains
<? echo (\"$HTTP_REFERER\"); ?> everything works OK, but whne I use the actual lkink on a search engine I do not get anything. If there some bullet-proff solution for getting the entire string of a URL from a referring search engine?

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeelppp...

Is the PHP script running on the same server when you tested it with the test page and with the search engine? Because maybe if you used different servers, in the second server register_globals is not on so $HTTP_REFERER is not defined. Try $_ENV['HTTP_REFERER'] and see what happens...

The test page was on the same server and the URL that I'm trying to detect is on a totally different one. I tried $_ENV['HTTP_REFERER'] but still didn't get anything returned, just blanked. Perhaps my syntax is wrong. I'm not really that familiar with PHP...

... it worked fine when I clicked through from the test page in the same directory, though...
