Can someone please tell me why the refered page is not stored in the $referer variable? As far as I know that should work!

$referer = $ENV{'HTTP_REFERER'};

I've also tried;

$referer = $ENV{HTTP_REFERER};

PLEASE HELP! This is driving me mad!

So it should work? It has me stumped. I am trying to check if the referer is Clickbank. Maybe I will have to use some other way to validate that it is from Clickbank This was would have been so much easier...lol

If there is no referer, $referer will be empty.

To check if the referer is clickbank try something like:

Oh well, it came up with No. I don't quite understand how it cna not think there is a referer though I suppose I will have to make up some other way to make the page a bit more secure....

How are you testing it?

Well if you go to a link directly in your browser then you are not being referred from anywhere so that is one case when HTTP_REFERER won't be defined (there are more).

To be able to test your script you would have to be clicking a link back to your site from clickbank.com - that is the only way HTTP_REFERER will be clickbank.com

Yeah, it is coming from ClickBank.com. I made a test purchase (by setting the cost to $0), and then tried a complete test. To test the code you gave me, I made another link, and created a script with the code you gave. That just produced "No"

Don't worry though, I am just doing it another way now
