HTTP_REFERER

Anon

Have been trying to echo $HTTP_REFERER, but not working. Also placed a link on a different page and reached this page through this link, it didnt display referring page. Do I need to compile PHP with a specific option to get HTTP_REFERER env. variable ?
Extra info: In phpinfo() HTTP_REFERER is not displayed.

Thanks.

try getenv($HTTP_REFERER); and see if that works.

I forgot to tell that one, It did not work aswell.

Try something really simple like this:

<?php
print ("<a href='$PHP_SELF'>CLICK HERE</a><p>");
echo($HTTP_REFERER);
?>

If that doesn't work.......pass?

Thanks, this is working great. I think the problem is with the javascript. If I popup this page with javascript, $HTTP_REFERER is empty. This is a poll script. As people vote, it is opening a small popup window to display results. But someone is using this link to create fake votes(althoug IP blocking is set). Now I started to write HTTP_REFERER into a file. At last I captured the address. Because he is not calling it with java!. So is there a way to get HTTP_REFERER when you call the page with a javascript ?

Thanks a lot.

i'm having a similar problem but from a java applet. i'm calling a script from the applet and the $HTTP_REFERER does not get set. is there a way to set it so it equals the page the applet is on???
thanks
