Okay, here is my situation.

I have a page, index.php, which is the mainsite (flash site)

I have another page called iframe.php which contain iframe of index.php

Another page, test.php. Inside have 2 links, 1st link is directly to index.php, another link is to iframe.php

I tested:

  • I click the 1st link, when i trace/echo the HTTP_REFERER, it displays “test.php”, but

  • I click on 2nd link, when i trace/echo the HTTP_REFERER, it displays “iframe.php”.

Why it display “iframe.php”? Is HTTP_REFERER does not work on iframe??

Is there anyway to get the “test.php” when i click on second link?

if(!empty($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'])){
?>
    flashvars.link       =  '<?php echo $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']; ?>';
<?php
}
?>
var params = {};
var attributes = {};
swfobject.embedSWF("main.swf, "content", "100%", "100%", "9", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes);

    In either case you’re seeing the output of index.php. Here’s why:

    Scenario 1)

    When you hit index.php from the link in test.php, it loads index.php (with test.php as the HTTP_REFERER).

    Scenario 2)

    When you hit iframe.php from the link in test.php, it loads iframe.php which internally loads index.php in the <iframe> tag (with iframe.php as the HTTP_REFERER).
