I have problem with getting domain name using HTTP_REFERER.
The condition is like this:
http://www.example.com send a curl post to my server. The things is, example.com does not send their url in curl_setopt(CURLOPT_REFERER)
. So is it possible on my server side to get their domain name ?
Thanks a lot for helping me
My code so far:
on abc.com side
$data = array('username' => $username , 'email' => $email, 'phone' => $phone ); $string = http_build_query($data); // For debugging purpose // echo $string; $ch = curl_init("http://localhost/test/str_pos.php"); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POST, true); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_POSTFIELDS, $string); curl_setopt($ch, CURLOPT_RETURNTRANSFER, true); curl_exec($ch); curl_close($ch); header("Location: str_pos.php");
On my server side:
$domain = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_REFERER']); if (isset($domain['host'])) { echo $domain['host']; } else{ echo "No host found"; }

Answer
I would advise a different command. Instead of HTTP_REFERER
try HTTP_HOST
or SERVER_NAME
.
Example:
$domain = parse_url($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']);
$domain = parse_url($_SERVER['SERVER_NAME']);
HTTP_REFERER
– The address of the page (if any) which referred the user agent to the current page. This is set by the user agent. Not all user agents will set this, and some provide the ability to modifyHTTP_REFERER
as a feature. In short, it cannot really be trusted.Source http://php.net/manual/en/reserved.variables.server.php
