HTTP_REFERER is not a reliable way of capturing a remote address. Sometimes
the client does not set it at all.

Hi guys, I am trying to track where the people entered a unique page from (developing an affiliate system). I have been using the $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] to track this and record it on a affiliate entrance of the web site. However, that is not tracking all clicks. Only some of them have. I assume some of the links are not from a traditional <a></a> link. Is there any other way to do this?
