note 59442 added to reserved.variables

Unfortunately IE (Internet Explorer) doesn't support HTTP_REFERER if the link is not a plain html link. I am using the following code at the end (!) of all php/html code (using an insert file): <?php $_SESSION['HTTP_REFERER'] = basename($_SERVER['PHP_SELF']); ?> Then I just evaluate the session rather than the server variable. Since $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'] delivers also the path information we have to cut this using basename(). Verified in Firefox 1.0.7 and IE 6. ---- Manual Page -- http://www.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.php Edit -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=edit+59442 Delete: added to the manual -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59442&report=yes&reason=added+to+the+manual Delete: bad code -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59442&report=yes&reason=bad+code Delete: spam -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59442&report=yes&reason=spam Delete: useless -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59442&report=yes&reason=useless Delete: non-english -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59442&report=yes&reason=non-english Delete: already in docs -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59442&report=yes&reason=already+in+docs Delete: other reasons -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=delete+59442&report=yes Reject -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php?action=reject+59442&report=yes Search -- http://master.php.net/manage/user-notes.php
