How to Get Domain Name of Referer

[notooth]

Hi ,

Can anyone tell me if there is a function that returns the domain name of the referer?

[notooth]

Can anyone help me? I got nothing for $HTTP_REFERER .

thats should work for PHP. make it so it logs into a .txt file and it should tell you the domain in which the referer was from

That works on my local server, but does not work on my web server .

Does your web server provide PHP?

[notooth]

Of course, it does. I am making a web page with PHP and got problem with this.

[eXPerience-XP]

use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

[notooth]

use $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That doesn't work either .

[eXPerience-XP]

do any of the other $_SERVER variables work? also if you dont have a referer then it will show up with nothing

I figured it out. The web server get nothing for the $HTTP_REFERER if the referfer is my local server. When I use another website as the referer, it works fine. Thank you for your replies .
