Thanks for your help I have set the register_globals to on, but when I
use HTTP_REFERER it does not take me back to the previous page which is
what I would like it to do it is taking me back to the directory. Why
is it doing this and some one tell me how to stop it from doing so.

Hi Darren,

If you're using PHP 4.2.0 upwards in it's default configuration then
environment and server variables, along with GTE POST and cookie data,
are no longer automatically created as global variables. This is thanks
to the register_globals setting in the php.ini file, which needs to be
set to 'on'. Alternatively, if you don't have access to the PHP
configuration then you can try adding the following to the beginning of
your scripts...

extract($_SERVER);
extract($_ENV);
extract($_GET);
extract($_POST);
extract($_COOKIE);

If that seems a little dratic, then just change the section that outputs
HTTP_REFERER to...



I hope this helps!

Regards,

Steve
