Hi Guys,

Got an error which I can seem to figure out.

Quote

Notice: Undefined index: HTTP_REFERER in C:\wamp\www\football\includes\functions\whos_online.php on line 112

of which line is:

	  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_WHOS_ONLINE . " (customer_id, full_name, session_id, ip_address, hostname, time_entry, time_last_click, last_page_url, http_referer, user_agent) values ('" . (int)$wo_customer_id . "', '" . tep_db_input($wo_full_name) . "', '" . tep_db_input($wo_session_id) . "', '" . tep_db_input($wo_ip_address) . "', '" . tep_db_input($wo_hostname) . "', '" . tep_db_input($current_time) . "', '" . tep_db_input($current_time) . "', '" . tep_db_input($wo_last_page_url) . "', '" . tep_db_input($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) . "', '" . tep_db_input($user_agent) . "')");

I have added the index to the table in phpmyadmin but still the error remains but only until I refresh the page and then it goes away.

Any ideas guys?

Thanks

Mark

The $_SERVER superglobal is not guaranteed to contain any particular elements, such as HTTP_REFERER. See http://us.php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php for details. It's quite possible that your server isn't supplying this element. If this element is definitely used elsewhere in your site, double check your spelling (REFERER, not the proper spelling REFERRER).

There can be many cases where you are referring to elements that don't exist, the standard method is to test that it exists before referring to it.

ie:

 (isset($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']) ? $_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER'] : '')
