http_referer
Hi!
I'm using $_SERVER['http_referer'] to see which site the visitors on my site is coming from. It works OK, but as we all now, not all sites give http_referer a value, i.e. miniclip.com. What I DON'T understand is how my web-statistics program (awstats) can tell me that a lot of the visitors on my site comes from miniclip.com. How can awstats know, and http_referer don't? // ojorus
