[IE crazy]nothing for http_referer

ddlam

Hi,
I am using IE and have a serious problem in using http_referer.
I have made an <object> on HTML. The <object> is a SWF file and it is associated with calculate.php.
In calculate.php, I am trying to check the "http_referer" of this SWF file. However, ithe value of the "http_referer" is null. I think that it is IE problem.

<?
$referer = getenv("HTTP_REFERER");

if ($referer == "http://ddlam2.uhome.net/typing/send.html") {
	print "&a=$referer";
	print "&b=done";
} else {
	print "&a=$referer";
	print "&b=wrong";
}
?>

For example:
http://ddlam2.uhome.net/typing/send.html
Does anyone know how to make the PHP capture the SWF URL or the URL of this HTML page?
Thank you for reading my post!!

It's not a problem specific to IE. What made you think it was?
I viewed the same thing in Mozilla and the same issue is present. Looks more like it may be an actionscripting issue.

Try making the button redirect to another PHP page that calls phpinfo(). Then look in the page output by phpinfo() to see if you can find the referrer anywhere (esp. in the superglobal variables $SERVER, $ENV)

Someone said he can see the referer in netscape. Therefore, I think it's IE problem.
Unluckily, the result of phpinfo() is:

Warning: phpinfo() has been disabled for security reasons. in /virtual/ddlam2.uhome.net/./a.php on line 3

Does anyone know any other way to find the referer?
Thank you for replying!

Instead of using getenv, try using $SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] or $ENV['HTTP_REFERER']
