In relation to Mr. Obvious' comment concerning using apache_request_headers() to get a more
reliable referer. I don't believe this works as both it and PHP would be retrieving the
information from the 'referer' header. All you would be doing by using
apache_request_headers() is giving yourself more work.
Some test code which shows that both are identical:
<?php
$host=apache_request_headers();
echo "\$host['Referer'] = {$host['Referer']}\n";
echo "\$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] = {$_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']}\n";
?>
You can edit the referer using a tool such as the LiveHTTPHeaders extension for Firefox.
If there was a more accurate way of determining the referer, then PHP would most likely be doing it.
