ID: 36433 Updated by: amt@php.net Reported By: jcantara at comcast dot net -Status: Open +Status: Bogus Bug Type: *Languages/Translation Operating System: All PHP Version: 4.4.2 New Comment: This is intentionally misspelled in accordance with the spec. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Referer Previous Comments: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-18 00:38:15] jcantara at comcast dot net Also, in the page: http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php It specifically says to use English, I know that guideline pretains to reporting bugs, but shouldn't it also pretain to the language itself? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-18 00:36:20] jcantara at comcast dot net Yes, the documentation also agrees with the word "referer" but that is also spelled incorrectly, there is no such word in the english language as "referer". Isn't that important in a language (whether it be written or programmed)? I resubmit that this is a valid bug. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [2006-02-17 22:07:07] mike@php.net Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not a bug.
