$HTTP_REFERER

The address of the page (if any) which referred the browser to the current
page. This is set by the user's browser; not all browsers will set this.

2001-12-18 Thread Chris Lee

break it down.

if ( $ef != 'nm' )
echo a : $efbr;
else
echo b : $ef br;
if ( $HTTP_REFERER !=
'http://www.globalhealth.org/news/article.php3?id=1526' )
echo c : $HTTP_REFERERbr;
else
echo d : $HTTP_REFERERbr;

now you can see where the bug is.

 For some reason, the following if  statement isn't working.  Maybe I
haven't
 had enough coffee to drink or maybe I've had too much - what am I missing?

 if ($efa != nm || $HTTP_REFERER !=
 http://www.globalhealth.org/news/article.php3?id=1526;){do this);}

 Thank you, Shawna

I should work if the user have a referer, a user has only a referer if
the user comes from another page to your page, because it dont work
might be because the user entered your page directly?

You wont get a referer on:
 1. Header redirect 
 2. Direct entry (as above)
 3. anonymous proxy filters out the headers
 4. user install Privacy-protect software
 5. The browser doesn't support it.
 
From one of my larger sites:

mysql select count(*) from stat;
+--+
| count(*) |
+--+
|  1391545 |
+--+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql select count(*) from stat where urlid=5343192248684061102;
+--+
| count(*) |
+--+
|   348162 |
+--+
1 row in set (1.69 sec)

mysql select (348162 / 1391545) *100.0;
+---+
| (348162 / 1391545) *100.0 |
+---+
| 25.02 |
+---+
1 row in set (0.00 sec)

mysql select conv(PASSWORD('[NO REFERRING URL]'),16,10);
++
| conv(PASSWORD('[NO REFERRING URL]'),16,10) |
++
| 5343192248684061102|
++
1 row in set (0.00 sec)


So 25% of my traffic is not sending HTTP_REFERER ...

YMMV.

 ...or the site uses frames,

 HTTP_REFERER is VERY unreliable. It is not server-side anymore, it is the
 data sent to you by browser in person, and with all the variety of
 browsers and the ways to navigate - it becomes uncontrollable.

I though every browser supported it, do you have an example on one
that does not?
