why does http_referer does'nt work if page is redirected

[rohan4good]

Hi,

I faced a problem with $SERVER['http_referer']. When a page is redirected from another page, http_referer doesnt point to the page from where it is redirected. Instead it points to the page previous to that.
For eg. If there is a page 'a.php'.. which has a link to a page 'b.php' and b.php immediately redirects it to 'c.php' then if u print $SERVER['http_referer'] in c.php it prints a.php instead of b.php. I hope I made myself clear.
Please help.
Thanx
Rohan

I still need it because, that page might be redirected from multiple different pages as per the logic. can I do it anyway?
