Find referring website

Post by laurav_00 »

Hi, I am brand new to PHP and I have a question. If somebody has a link on their website that links to my website, is there a way for me to use PHP to tell me the website that referred the user to my website? Hope that makes sense.

thanks
Laura

$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] but it's not always set.
