i wrote a php counter script that records basic information about each person who visits my website. i tried recording $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] as part of the information thinking that $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] holds the information of the website that they clicked on the link of to get to my website; but every single time $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] is blank.... i even tested going to my website from a search engine but it was still blank. was i wrong in my thinking of what $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERRER'] does? if so, what does it do and how do i record the site the user came from? if not, then what am i doing wrong?
