RE: [PHP] $HTTP_REFERER?

Hi, I just need to set the HTTP_REFERER of the 1st page as constant value, so I could use it in the later page. Could anyone help?

This works on my server: function ref_check() { if( isset( $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['HTTP_REFERER'] ) && $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['HTTP_HOST'] != substr( $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['HTTP_REFERER'] , 7 , strlen( $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['HTTP_HOST'] ) ) ) { echo "from outside, let's store the referer." ; } elseif( ! isset( $GLOBALS['HTTP_SERVER_VARS']['HTTP_REFERER'] ) ) { echo "without a referer, either they typed the URL in the address bar, used a bookmark, or their UA doesn't send this information" ; } ; } ; Well, you could probably carry it in the request uri, but your URLs will look ugly, and you'll need to make sure you don't use the wrong variable when they use a bookmark... Sessions is the only reasonable solution I can imagine.
