Re: missing HTTP_REFERER... (defining globals etc.)

Hi Maarten The variable $HTTP_REFERER is only set, when there *is* a referer page. That means, if you type an URL directly into the URL line in your browser, $HTTP_REFERER will be empty. And don't forget: php variables have a prefixed $ sign, also $HTTP_REFERER. HTH --Steff Hi, on our site http://gardens.samhoud.nl i get the following error on trying to insert http_referer into a db. "Warning: Undefined variable: HTTP_REFERER in /www/vhost_samhoud.nl.gardens/htdocs/index.php on line 22" I put a test.php on http://gardens.samhoud.nl/test.php to look at, and that doesn't show the referer listed either.. If it is empty, it should be listed as such, but it's nowhere to be found. I can define it as empty, or use it earlier on in a ifset(), and then it works fine, but is this how it should be?
