[CLUE-Tech] Apace/PHP Brain-Cramp on HTTP_REFERER?

[Jed S. Baer]

Well, a bit of reading on the PHP and Apache websites is telling me that
$HTTP_REFERER should be available to me as a "normal" global. Looking at
example scripts, I see it used.

However, using the <?phpinfo()?> script, I see nothing by that name, not
even as an element in $_although register_globals is on in php.ini.

I will note that my reference is inside a function, where it is declared
as a global. ($HTTP_POST_VARS doesn't work either, inside the function,
BTW). And yes, I did spell it the proper incorrect way ;-). The php FAQ
page specifically mentions these "CGI environment" variables, and from
what I could find on the Apache site, HTTP_REFERER is a standard for
Apache.

So, what am I missing? This is Apache 1.3 and PHP 4.1

Thanks,
jed
