So basically I send to the cgi-bin page, which in turn sends them to the 'end page'. So which is the referer? The page where user clicks the link, or the cgi-script that redirects them to the right place? |
Ah... Well if I remember correctly (haven't checked that sort of detailed thing in awhile), it's "usually" the page and not the script.. But.. it's not 100% and I'm not sure why that is.. Could be different browser types or could be spiders/crawlers. Perhaps you should run a test script or something.. setup your links to send to a test page and have that test page display the referer.
<?php
echo("'$HTTP_SERVER_VARS['HTTP_REFERER']'");
?>
There IS another server variables for "redirect" referers as well. Can't remember the name of it right now.
