Use this to find the referer

Code: Select all

$HTTP_SERVER_VARS&#1111;'HTTP_REFERER']  // PHP <= 4.06
$_SERVER&#1111;'HTTP_REFERER']           // PHP >= 4.1.0
HTTP_SERVER_VARS and _SERVER are the same thing. They are just an array that holds a wide variety of data about the users browser and other useful things. See http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php for more details
