Hi there everyone,



I have a system which dynamically creates a template based website which can
be turned on or off by a switch, to access it a user would do
http://www.websitename/templatename and then it would produce a 404 (NOT
look for a dir as this allows me to use a DB switch to enable the system).
However, when they enter a similar URL as the above it DOES redirect using:



ErrorDocument 404 /redirect.php



BUT the PHP page it redirects to, which has the following code:






echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']



?>



DOESN'T show the referrer page and I MUST have that in order to find what
template they are aimining to look at. I can't query my MySQL DB without
this information, am I doing something wrong? I did it once before about a
year ago but no longer have the code and I SWEAR I did it this way.



Any help would really be appreciated.



Chris

RE: http_referer question for DB access

I would suspect that you had a default template if there is no referer


$template = "default_template.php"; //or whatever you use to call it

if (!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] )) $template = $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']
;

.....

?>
