Just a follow up on this one--I've seen where consistently that $HTTP_REFERER will only show local referers, but not stuff from other sites/hostnames. This is on mod_php... any workaround for that? Regards, Joe
The referrer is sent by the referring machine. If that machine isn't setting it, you can't get it. If memory serves, I think I remember someone claiming that this could also be blocked at a firewall...don't know if that's true or not though. -- *********************************************************************** * _ __ __ __ _ * John Nichel * * | |/ /___ __ \ \ / /__ _ _| |__ ___ __ ___ _ __ * 716.856.9675 * * | ' </ -_) _` \ \/\/ / _ \ '_| / /(_-<_/ _/ _ \ ' \ * 737 Main St. * * |_|\_\___\__, |\_/\_/\___/_| |_\_\/__(_)__\___/_|_|_|* Suite #150 * * |___/ * Buffalo, NY * * http://www.KegWorks.com john@KegWorks.com * 14203 - 1321 * ***********************************************************************
