while throuwing a dump on $_SERVER has, in PHP, I can not get some fields including HTTP_REFERER. Instead I get some:

HTTP________ => ~~~~:~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
HTTP________________ => ~~~~~ ~~~~~~~

any idea what problem is?

I am trying to make a stats script and this is mandatory? Should I try using some client side solution with javascript instead?

What results are you getting when you do something like the following:

<pre><tt><? print_r($_SERVER); ?></tt></pre>'

I'm trying to figure out what will give you an output of "SERVER________" followed by a bunch of ~'s

I could understand if it was just blank, but having ~'s in it seems weird.

Also, check your antivirus software, some will block you referer information by default when installed. Maybe this is what is messing it up.

Try phpinfo() and compare the output.
